Title: The first $1,000,000.00 alembic bass!
Post by: jazzyvee on April 16, 2017, 02:51:21 AM

Is this the highest price ever listed for an alembic instrument!
I have a 1980 series I so really, I should be able to sell mine for a few dollars more than that and retire nicely!!!  ;D ;) ;D :o ::)

If that is worth a million can you imagine what #12 is worth.


I can see a business opportunity here if only I can persuade Mica to make me some NOS vintage looking alembics with realistic fake serial numbers although somehow I think that would be much harder than trying to raise the $1m to buy this one with a loan from an unemployed Yorkshire coal miner.  :-)


I hope it's just commas in the wrong place in the sale price. :-)

Looks a lot like this 78 Series I, which is selling for quite a bit less :)

Looks like old #73-33 in one of the pictures with it.

This gentleman has listings on Reverb, Ebay, and his own site referenced above. He mostly asks a lot initially for his guitars, but it has been mentioned on another thread that he is easy to work with on price. Offer him $750,000, and I bet $1,000,000 he takes it. Everybody wins  :)
