Edwin van Huik's shop is expecting a standard point medium scale Series II with what looks like a mutant maple or myrtle top. No price up yet.

Alembic Series II, build 1996. Price 6995,= euro. Gold hardware, front and side leds. Comes with original case and D5R power supply.
I've seen a couple of pictures and it looks like new.
Well, here it is..........

OMG...
I need to stay away from Edwin's shop for a while, or leave my wallet at home....

It's a beaut.

Btw, the tailpiece appears to be attached quite far away from the bridge. I've never seen it this far back. Why would that be?

My guess would be that it's conveniently intended for the bass to be used with long scale strings.

This 1996 Alembic Series II bass is now officially for sale.
I've seen the bass and it's in absolute mint condition. It looks like it has been played only a few times.
If anybody is interested in this bass, email me or Edwin van Huik at manfredderooy@planet.nl or (Edwin) bass@connectionbult.com. Remember, for people in the US that there is a returned US goods option. So no tax.

The bass comes with 19 inch D5-R power supply, five pin cable, original case.

Here are the specs.:
Series II 1996, 32 inch scale neck.
Top and back burl maple
Red side leds, red front laser leds (plus dimmer)
Gold plated hardware.

And here are some pictures:

Sorry folks. I should have offered my S2 to you all first before listing on Ebay. But, in my defense, parting with your first Alembic is not a rational thing to do.

Andy, it's a 34 scale.

Chris, I wouldn't want to part with it, either. Wow.
How much does she weigh?

angelboy · « **Reply #10 on:** April 13, 2007, 01:08:08 AM »

Shame it isn't a 32 and a shame you wont ship to the UK!

glocke · « **Reply #11 on:** April 13, 2007, 03:47:02 AM »

Thats a nice Series II....I have a series I but wouldnt mind owning that....maybe its time to sell me 72 or 64 jazz bass to finance this....hmmmmm

ndr_bass · « **Reply #12 on:** April 13, 2007, 05:07:39 PM »

I'm guessing she weighs 12 or 13 Lbs. Don't know for sure, but she's comfortable with a 4 wide Alembic strap.

So you'll understand why I'm not completely crazy to let her go, here's a picture with her two big sisters.

That Series five-string is insane!

Lovely arsenal of bass playing weaponry there.
BTW is that disk on the wall for record sales?
