On what?

I think he means the bass at Willie's American Guitars, but that's just an educated guess.

Oh that makes more sense.
Jeebus, that's a nice looking series II.... That top is really nice.

Somebody recently was asking about sap wood in top laminates.

What's the scale length on that? It looks like a short.

David Houck · « **Reply #7 on:** July 04, 2007, 08:11:40 AM »

The scale length is most probably 30.75 - short scale. But it never hurts to ask if you're considering making an offer.

This is a consignment item at Willies. My son and I stopped in and played it while we were on vacation in the Twin Cities this past month. Nice bass, nice tone. too bad it's a four...

I told the owner the price was way too high for a Series II w/o upgraded electronics, even with the power supply and cable--and mentioned I was a member of the Alembic Club. I suggested $3500-$5000. Anyway, it looks like he passed the info along to its owner.

The sad end to this tale is that Willie also had a couple of Rickenbackers hanging on the wall--and my son decided he liked the tone on those better!!!

Blessings,
Dr. J

Gadzooks! That's possibly the nicest looking cocobolo Series I've ever seen!

I go in and play this thing all the time. It would be my first Alembic, but I need the consignor to drop it to like $3k. If anyone buys it from here, just know you are a heart breaker!

First post, but hopefully I can actually be a club member someday.
