Title: For Sale: Alembi Essence 5 fretless burl maple
Post by: bassicmusik on October 24, 2013, 07:30:08 AM
Dear Alembicians, I'm selling my 1996 Essence 5 fretless. Perfect condition. This bass can be found on ebay ( germany ). I'm thinking of 2500 ? shipped in germany.

What shipping company would you use?  
I think about ?400 to the US is more realistic... And there will be import duty + tax if you ship outside the EU, might not apply for US (someone prob. chime in, but I think you can mark it as returned US goods)
 
I had some interest from Austria for my bass, shipping would be +/- ?150 (by UPS, from Holland)
 
Awesome bass!

Hi fc spoiler,
 
I referred to DHL germany. Shipping to the USA is 66 ? ( up to 20 kg ) plus 20 ? for the additional length Sperrgutzuschlag. The bass will be shipped in a Hiscox flightcase. There will be some case-candys too: perfect tools ( quality from Hazet germany ;-)), security locks, levis strap...  This shipping is insured up to 2500 ?. Of course there will be duty and tax, if the bass is sold outside europe.
 
Kind regards,
Chris

As the bass has not been sold via Ebay, I'm open for offers ( no trades, cash only ). Worldwide shipping is possible.  
 
Kind regards,
Chris

That is absolutely gorgeous. If only I hadn't recently bought a Wal Pro....

You're more likely to see another gorgeous Alembic in the near future than a Wal, Bill.  Ya done the right thing.
