Title: FINALLY - ANOTHER UK EBAY ALEMBIC EPIC!
Post by: white_cloud on February 11, 2008, 04:26:43 AM
Up for auction on the UK ebay is a handsome 1997 5 string Epic! Has been a while since we have had another Alembic on the UK bay!
 
Starting at ?599 it looks an attractive buy at the moment!

heres (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230221710940&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:Watchlink:middle:uk) the link. I'm going to see how much this goes for. It may be there'll be a scottish resident one appearing if the price is right.

I lost out on a similar one back in ocober 07, seller agreed a price with me and then went off the radar and wouldnt answer his phone or emails
 
I think he wasnt entirely happy with the ?700 he had agreed and decided to hold onto it!
 
I would have preferred honesty instead of ignorance.

In fact on further inspection Im convinced that this is the same instrument that I missed out on!
 
I wonder why its up for auction again so quickly with a different seller?

It may be the seller didn't get on with the neck, it's quite wide and chunky.

Still, its a great bass that will probably sell cheaper than a new US Fender jazz!
 
I would have bought it if I hadnt been messed about with it before (is it possible its the same seller as before using a friends account?)
 
A four stringer is what I really want anyway

Went for ?695 in the end. I wouldn't let mine go that cheap!
