Alembic Epic and Nordstrand VJ5

Post by mxm »

Making room for incoming...

2011 Nordstrand VJ5 - pretty much mint. £1800ono
1996 Alembic Epic - excellent condition for age, does show signs of wear. £1500ono

Pictures and more info on both basses are here - http://lhb72.tumblr.com

Would be interested in a trade for a Status King Bass 5 string or an SWR Amplite.

Quite happy to ship overseas, my only issues are hard cases (the Nordy hasn't got one and the Alembic's is mental) - these would have to be purchased, and I wouldn't want to put decent quality basses in useless cheap cases !

Would prefer UK sale/collection !!! Thanks.

A-ha just realised the 'mental case' I dropped in there !!!

Seriously mental though, hand made, using only the heaviest toughest materials known - got 50 yards out of the shop and had to hail a cab, mental.

Ha - I love Alembics. I've owned two - a Distillate and a Spoiler and wished I'd never sold them... they were mental!
