Here's a real honey! Never even heard of this model from Alembic. Anyone know anything about them?

Isn't that the bass that "John the Bassist" was selling a few months back?

Stunning indeed.

Yes this was my bass and a real slick player.I traded it in when I picked up a Mike Lull and a Ken Smith 25th ann. fusion elite 5.He's also got a japanese jazz and a brand new Ricky 4003 all in the trade.You know he's had 'em awhile and took his time putting them up.I wonder why?Anyway it's a 32" scale and a breeze on the back(very light).

Any reason why they don't post their pricing anywhere on their website?

That was John's Bass (johnthebassist). He traded it a while back. Someone sent me a link to a different store that had that exact bass. It was like 4300.00. Not sure the location. I'll look thru my emails and see if I can find it. It wasn't a link from Atlanta Bass Gallery tho. Jim Rubio is a great guy that owns ABG. I bought a few lefty basses from him. Your best bet is call him rather than sending email. Killer Alembic but there are many killer basses out there to be found. :geek:
