Well folks. I just spent a long time on the phone with the mothership as you guys seem to call it.
I have to say, what incredible people! Both Susan and Mica have been delightful to chat with. Stars in their own right!
So, long story short, I’m going to embark on a custom build of my long gone childhood bass.
So, my custom short scale bass from 2008, known here as "Adam’s Bass," is now officially for sale.
It’s mahogany with exquisite Gabon ebony "bat" inlays on top. Rosewood fingerboard and ebony peg headstock front and back. Scorpion horn. Mother of pearl binding on neck. Amber LEDs on side of neck. Plays and sounds like a dream, with series 1 electronics. I will use the proceeds to make a down payment on my build. I would absolutely keep this bass if there was any way to do it. It’s a top notch bass, in mint condition.
Used only in home and studio.
I know there’s a pretty extensive build thread from 2008, but I’m not sure how to add. Maybe one of you can add it here?
I will entertain any serious cash offers, and this is a chance for a steal for this bass! Free shipping anywhere in USA via FedEx. Comes in a like new Mono soft case. I love the Mono cases and am confident you will too if you’ve never experienced one. If you have tried one you know what I mean.
Check out my story on Fun Stories thread for a taste of what my build will somewhat re-create.
So here I am, on a path so many of you seem to have been on. Wish me luck!

That would be Adam's Inlaid top bass (https://club.alembic.com/index.php?topic=7559.0).

"So, my custom short scale bass from 2008, known here as "Adam’s Bass," is now officially for sale."
I think that, technically speaking, that would be "one of Adam's basses".
Good luck with the sale; wish I had funds, as I have always loved that one (and most of his others, as well).

That's what I was thinking. Adam did go on quite a building spree around then.

He built so many, and they are so cool, that I think I once posted suggesting there should be an "Adam's Basses" subforum.
