so, Werner, did you get your fretless Alembic for the Stingray, or did you just sell it ?
...just curious

I just sold it  
 
But now I'm able to continue hunting with a little more cash in the back. Not easy to get a fretless Alembic in Europe. Sometimes american sellers are a bit shy to sell or trade to Europe

you cannot blame our friends across the pond, Werner, it's a mess filling out the necessary documents... if they get the correct advice at all  
I bought overseas twice, and had a friend travel with one bass to Switzerland and picked it up there and declared it at our beloved Customs Authorities, and travelled myself for the second acquisition... a far better alternative !
 
My very first Alembic is just around your block, Eva is in Leverkusen, to be precise. Please kick my *$$...  so, there are chances that you will find a suitable bass within reasonable travel distance also...
 
here's crossing my fingers for you,
your Christian

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to blame someone and are also not aware of the paperwork to be done. I only see sometimes Alembics not getting sold on ebay which might have easily been sold if the seller would only accept shipping to Europe.
