Title: Alembic Exploiter '03
Post by: garethnh on September 17, 2009, 10:20:31 AM

This is really just a feeler. I maybe selling my Exploiter because it just doesn't get used that much any more. It is one of those - happy to keep it but ready to let it go for the right price! So, my question is to those in the know - what should the bass be valued at? It is pristine, I'm the only owner it's had and pics are in the link below:

Gareth,
What is the scale length, 32 or 34?
 
Thanks.

Gareth,
Appreciate the reply.  I checked out your Who2 videos.  Very nice playing and vocals by all concerned.
 
I had a 1986 Exploiter but I sold it because you couldn't blend the pickups except 50/50 and it was just a 32 scale (I favor 34).  
 
So your axe would address these needs.  Next question is, will my wife leave me for a harmonica player for even thinking about acquiring another bass?

Thanks Joe.
 
Well, mine is all singing and all dancing - Signature Elecs etc etc. A great instrument, but as you have no doubt noticed on the vids I now have one of The Ox's Status Graphite Buzzards and the Alembic is too expensive an instrument to have as a mere back up bass......
I'm sure your wife will start to speak to you again after a few months......  ;-)
