Weird...ended with 2 bids, but now it's not available for viewing and says the listing has been removed.(edit: I guess its viewable with the above link.)
...from fishy to fishier .

I picked 'em up. All are actual Alembics, all function. They needed some BAD TLC as they were strung bottom to top, loose volume pots, loose tuners, loose p/ups, minor fret buzz on the 4. All sound killer vintage Alembic. The 5 and the 6 especially are heavier than F%$*. NON graphite necks. All were recently refretted before sale and needed the frets smoothed down and beveled as they stuck out of the fingerboards slightly. All were neglected and covered w/ grime and goo and every point on all the bodies had at least a scuff. Some minor chips here and there. Bottom line, these babies were neglected!! Chips Music in Jacksonille FL has finished the repair work on the 4 and 5.

Thanks. I've played the five at a few gigs. It balances nicely, and once it was set up properly, it plays and sounds killer. Fast bass for a five. HEAVY but well balanced. The 6 string MAY go back on Ebay if I need the cash....too much of a beast for gigs. I'd hate to break up the set though.

I am interested in the 6 string if you want to sell

5stringfreak · « **Reply #22 on:** March 11, 2011, 12:28:12 PM »

I may sell the 4 and the 6. If I do, they'll go on ebay and I'll post the link here.

I see the 6 is up for bidding, it's nice to see some clear pictures...I might have to see what I can sell quickly to make a bid.
cheers
