Looks like this bass (http://club.alembic.com/index.php?topic=5681) might be for sale?
-
I am interested but I can not read this page. I can only read English & German . How much $ USD being asked ? Is Shipping to USA considered by the seller ?
-
346,500 yen is around $3800. Seems kind of high to me.

The Google translation is pretty funny in parts too ...

Price is double that of a new MTD K6 model, which seems comparable to what you would expect to see in the Netherlands. Prices in general seem to be higher in Japan.

$3800. does seem a bit high indeed.

They have A LOT of Alembics for sale (http://www.digimart.net/pub_gk_list.do?org.apache.struts.taglib.html.TOKEN=b4dfe068e8e6f8ffae059aac0ea8568c&subSearchEnter=true&keywordAnd=alembic&x=26&y=9).
Some really nice basses!! Check it out.

Yes , very nice !

Just to clarify, the page that Greg linked to isn't just one store, it's all the Alembics registered through the Digimart site. Which is still a lot of great Alembics!
The listing for the 3/4 Spoiler isn't very interesting - it says the top is zebrawood, the back mahogany, with master volume, master tone (filter of course!), and filter tone adjustment switch (Q switch).
Unfortunately, the yen rate is very bad for the dollar right now ($1=90 yen today), so it's even more expensive!
