I used to own this one (http://club.alembic.com/index.php?topic=14702); it's a beautiful bass!

It's a fantastic bass Dave, but unfortunately it's not for me! It's still in virtually MINT condition! Still with the original moulded case as well!  
 
I can ship internationally!

I think it'd make a great companion for the Big Kahuna.
