Basses from Japan
« on: September 23, 2016, 06:17:35 PM »
Many used Alembic basses from Japan are being posted at very inflated prices on eBay.  Where are the reasonably-priced, used 5-string Europa's?

Dan, there's a trend going on over there where the same instruments are being listed several times by different sellers. Near the bottom of this thread, our brother Eiji (room037) comments about how that works.  http://club.alembic.com/index.php?topic=22035.0

I don't know why the Europa is the most hyper-inflated though. Can't say I remember one here recently either, though there have been a couple other nice five-string models lately.
