Alembics at GC

Whole bunch of used Alembics at GC right now, seem a little insanely priced to me.  And beware the Epic 5!  It's the one that I got from them and had to take back because the electronics are NOT ALEMBIC!

This one actually looks like a Series I, rather than a Signature (as advertised) - it's an oldy, and this small body appears to have medium or longscale!

If I could, that one would be on it's way to me now.

I agree they look like the same bass. Unfortunately no free cash at this time to go after it with.

Dela is right -- that is the same bass, and in fact both Series instruments and the Spyder belonged to Club member series_iii. I spoke with the GC manager this weekend, and do not expect any of them to go for a bargain price.

Yep that is a long scale with a SS body.  I just hope the next owner does not move the strap button.
