Title: Alembic "BassStar" fretless on ebay
Post by: inthelows on November 12, 2006, 10:34:30 PM
4 string fretless Modulus with EMG active system. Looks like the pups are intact. Now why replace the electronics?
ps no.. I'm not the seller!

First off the pictured instrument is an Alembic Orion Fretless.... No graphite there!
 
Second, The early 90's is about 15 years off the mark for a BassStar neck.  
 
Third, he mentions plenty of fret life.... I sure hope he mixed up his listings and has both basses up for sale!!!!

I thought this wasnt an early 90's model because I expected the neck to have the Alembic logo on it. There's some glare on the serial # on the back of the headstock, but that'll give the year.  
 
$799 BIN!!!! That's a lot cheaper than that Blackknife w/ the Alembic logo..... lol....

Oh Yeah..BTW.. he revised the description and title info shortly after the original posting. Clears a few things up! Had pics switched around.
