I have put a bid into the seller.  Nice collection of Alembics there.  I await their counteroffer.  Somehow, I just feel this piece of history shoud be back in the USA, where it was conceived and constructed.

Man, that place has the coolest collection.
 
I must have missed the discussion on this little darling.  Like everyone around here, I love the super duper AAAA exotic zebra burled maple 6 string sliding pickup tree of life inlaid basses... but this is just a smooth looking bass, so simple and just pretty, wow.  Looks tight.

That is John Judge's old bass - she sure is purty. I wonder if the 3 fretless control knobs get in the way?
