Hi Kristoff,
welcome to the club! Here in Germany, you pay about 1100 Euro for a regular 4 string, so for a 6 string with such spectacular woods I?d guess it?s worth more than you paid for it.
Hey, can we see the headstock, please?

Yep, sounds like a bargain.  It would probably go for $1500 in the US, and they are always more expensive in other countries.  That top is awesome and would only add to the value.

Thanks for the compliments everybody,I already thought it would be a bargain buying this bass.I found it coincidently,after I was in a car accident with my girlfriend and my Warwick got damaged while lying in the trunk.Then a friend of mine said he saw a secondhand Warwick on the internet so I went to see but my eye fell immediately on this masterpiece Alembic. I always liked Alembic,I'm a fan of Stanley Clarke so the next link is obviously Alembic.Here are some more pics.
