Title: WANTED: 5-string cocobolo
Post by: robinc on May 07, 2008, 06:39:32 PM

I'm looking to buy a five-string Alembic. Series bass with cocobolo top and back preferred. Ideal price range is under $3000, but for the right bass no price is too steep. I'd just love to see what's out there!

Hi Robin, welcome to the board!  It seems highly unlikely that you would find a five string Series bass with Coco Bolo top and back for less than $3,000.  But then you did go on to say that for the right bass no price is too steep!

Thanks, Christian! Yup, I guess this is what I get for being impatient for my post to load =P
 
On a totally unrelated note, anyone know when the custom quote generator will be up and running? I'd love to play around with that thing.
