JMT3781 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 (edited) Hey Im putting my Alembic epic 5 string fretless up for consideration by you fine chaps i had it a couple of months back from giblett123, for roughly 800 quid with my trade included. i haven't gigged the bass, think i had it just so i could say ive owned an alembic at some point in my life lol! Fantastic sounding fretless, mahogany body and zebrano top combined with alembic pickups and eq makes for a great fretless sound comes with gold strap locks and wide leather strap. no case sorry the retail on these is now a ridiculous 4-5 thousand pounds, but i really want another shuker, so i'll let this go for £600 for a quick deal there is a dink on the very bottom and one in the headstock, but neither are overly noticeable. ill put some photoes on when i get home tonight PM me if interested pick up from birmingham, or ill drive about 40 miles at the most to meet Edited April 26, 2010 by JMT3781 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 [quote name='Damo200' post='835397' date='May 12 2010, 04:09 PM']I don't understand why this bass isn't sold at that price? I'm in need of a 5 fretless and have the cash, but am a little bit reticent as to why this wasn't snapped up the day it was advertised? Sorry if I come across cynical, but I've now been twice stung by dodgy GWB35's.[/quote] It is sold and the new owner is extremely happy - best if you read the previous couple of posts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damo200 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Sorry, got confused!! Thought it was too good to be true! I'm the lookout for a 5 string fretless (pref lined) for around £600 if anyone can oblige. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
