The pictures are too small to see clearly, but I'm wondering if we haven't seen this bass before.

You could probably send this bass to Santa Rosa and get the headstock repaired so that it looks nice, and still come out way ahead.

Tempting. I've always wanted a Series bass from my birth year, but I already have a Juzek and a security deposit to pay for. Maybe next time...

A Series bass from my birth year

That's a concept that is so far from any semblance of reality in my neck of the universe that the thought has never previously crossed my mind. You trying to make me feel old??!!

hehehehe

Bill, tgo

Hmm, being primarily a guitarist, I felt reborn sonically when I got my first alembic bass so thats as close to a my birth year bass that I can get. Although I did buy myself a series guitar for my 50th this year so thats my birthday Alembic. :-)

I am too old to have an Alembic birth year Bass. However I have a prized 1956 French Selmer large bore Trumpet .468 bore size ! My birth year Trumpet!___ It's a nice horn________.

Hi,

Yes, this is my bass, and it is still for sale. I pulled the old ad while I had the bass checked out. Ruggiero's in Philly (one of very few local guys who's opinion I have complete faith in) looked over the bass, and confirmed that the repair is not pretty, but it is stable and straight. I reposted on Craigslist because local is often easier. In any rate, I'll keep it up at the $2300 rate if someone here wants to move on it. But hey, don't be shy about making an offer.

Best,
Ben

Hello phobucket. What's the width at the nut and at the end of the fretboard, in inches? Thanks.

Agreed Elwoodblue, very disrespectful. if only I had the money I would totally jump on this and get Alembic to make the repair prettier, good luck with the sale!
