Lovely bass but I don't think a 6 stringer is my thing.

Brutal!
 
Looks like switches are not original?  
Must stop looking, have some cash around and might end up buying it... (http://club.alembic.com/Images/395/112245.gif)

I noticed the non standard switches too but apart from that it is a beauty and looks in very good nick.
if it was closer to where I live I'd offer to check it out for you, but it's way down the far end of the country to where I live and maybe if you do consider buying it, there is someone here who lives a lot closer than me.  
 
I'm not sure if it's a trick of the light but it does not look like there is a gloss finish on the front of the bass.

I tried, for some reason my bid was cancelled.
 
Still willing to buy if the owner is out there...?

yep I still want it....and I'm still broke....you'd think that after chasing a dream for 18 years one would give up, but the fire still burns today as if no time has passed.
