Title: 1985 Alembic Series II on eBay Germany
Post by: iMilanek on June 07, 2020, 12:21:19 PM: Hi, found this on eBay in Germany: https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/alembic-series-ii-custom-4-saiter-ex-juergen-dehmel-nena-/1426904117-74-6798
Is €6.9k a good price?

Post by: BeenDown139 on June 07, 2020, 05:18:34 PM: by my calculations that's $7806.42 USD. I'd say if it was in the US at that price somebody might snap it up. but - no LEDs, 4 strings and painted black would give me pause, mostly because i like the look of wood and built in LEDs on a 5-string.
but OTOH, it is a series II, minor detractions nothwithstanding and if it were on sale here for that price on reverb, my trigger finger would be getting pretty itchy right about now

Post by: senmen on June 16, 2020, 10:35:40 AM: Well guys,
you should notice that this bass is stock factory.
No refinish!
This bass was ordered that way with Alembic back in the 80ies.

Post by: Jonnio on June 17, 2020, 01:27:42 PM: I believe this is a local collection in person type of ebay? Please correct me if I'm wrong, as my german is not good. the reviews are poor for this type of ebay, lots of scammers on it apparently. I'm not saying this isn't genuine, but can't get to Germany at the moment to check it out, so hope some lucky fellow on here acquires it.

Post by: zomnius on September 10, 2020, 02:03:40 PM: I can say, this is one brutal bass. WhAt a power, sustain and yes red leds!! it is really for me a ground braking bass, and I played a lot of high end stuff. Besides the fact that it is a 4 sting..... makes me faster again hahah. it is an inspiring instrument, makes you play new lines.. love it. 26 September I take it out live... (yeah!)
