Pretty bass.


Says it's the 3/4 Standard Point body with the 34" long-scale.

I saw this on Reverb yesterday....its listed there $2,000.00 higher.  Must be the Reverb commission.

I knew i'd recently seen an alembic with the same 3/4 sized body.

well if i was still looking to upgrade my essence 5-string  fertless this would just aboot do it.  the only thing lacking is series electronics imho.  elsewise it checks all the boxes:  long scale, 5 string, unlined, LEDs, upgraded electronics plus a nice omega cut.  too bad it's listed on ebay.  has this one been around before?  i dunno.  the only song i do in our band that really needs a fretless is boys of summer.  so i do it on the SII and pop  the strings a little.  not really in the mood to drop $9k USD just for that.

oh and also there's that 3+2 fretless headstock thing again. :-)

good luck to all!
