Title: Hey Alembic! The quote generator isn't right!!!
Post by: the_8_string_king on January 20, 2007, 12:46:51 PM

Hey gang, I want to give you a heads up in case you haven't noticed this yet.
 
I was looking at the custom quote generator to check a couple things as a reference.
 
I was curious to see if the new pricing was input yet.  Anyway, when I clicked on Mark King Deluxe the default/4-string price is listed as $8700; the 5-string is listed as $9300; but when I hit the 6-string price... it lists it as ONLY $1000!!!  TOTAL!!!  I did it a couple of times, logged off and on... it does it every time.  If you add stuff, it adds it on.  For example, a 6-string Mark King Deluxe with 2 ebony laminates is quoted at $2350.
 
I'm sure you'll want to fix this and get the correct info in.
 
I didn't check the other classes of instruments, but it might be good to make sure the 4/5/6 string prices are correct for the other models.

Me too!  And here I was thinking I was slick getting my order in before the price increase!
 
Here's another one for you: the 4-string Europa lists as $7100, and the 5-string lists for $7700... but the 6-string is quoted at $7300... $400 LESS than the 5-string!
 
Obviously this isn't right either, so I'm also bringing this example to your attention so you can deal with it in the prevention stage rather than maybe having someone get mad about it or something, and y'all having to explain/apologize or whatever!

I took the liberty of just going thru ALL the other bass models in the custom quote generator, and all of the other models seem at least self-consistent with their pricing.
 
It looks to me like only the pricing for the 6-string King Deluxe and the 6-string Europas are goofy... but you may wish to double check to be sure!

As far as I can tell, it all looks correct now and matches the  published pricelist (http://www.alembic.com/prod/prices.html). Thanks for the heads up!  
 
By the end of February, I should have the set neck models added and a separate quote generator for guitars as well.
