I have a 2004 5 string Essence, Buckeye Burl, Alembic Q switch upgrade, Alembic case and Goody-made Alembic strap. Absolutely dead mint, not a scratch on her, hardly played out (maybe 3 times, at most). Killer feel, neck action and tone. I'll let her go for 2.5K and actual shipping. Photos on request.(http://club.alembic.com/Images/395/93839.jpg)

From what I learned on this forum so far, I kind of figured that was way above what I could afford at this time. That is a saweeet bass. It gives me some ideas for a custom that I have placed on my bucket list, if I am blessed to be around that long.LOL

Any interest in a  fretless Epic 5 (http://club.alembic.com/index.php?topic=2041)?  (scroll down for some pics)

That's a great restoration you Bill. I am not interested in a fretless at this time. Thanks all the same.
