Is that bye or buy, Dave.

(I'm glad it's in Singapore. It would be way too tempting to me if it were in the US.)

Believe me, I have been looking at this one for a while. I am still looking for the right series one.

Well Dave, I bought it, Kenny the seller, sent loads of new photos of the electronics etc. I hope to use an escro house to seal the deal. It all seems very legit. Shall advise the eventual outcome. Roger

Congrats Roger. That's a real good price too.

I think it's a great deal on a great bass! How much is the shipping?

Hi Dave. The seller has a quote around $350, it needs to go with DHL or Fedex as it's way too heavy & big for the regular postal service. Still, a nice series I for way less than 3k is pretty good. He says it's great to play, just great. Roger

Wow, that's a deal. I thought I had a pilot friend who was going there and could pick it up, but it never worked out. Congrats!

It should be here by the middle/end of next week. The seller could not have been more helpful, sent loads of photos. Will post a pic. Took delivery today of the MK Deluxe from Green Square, David, the owner delivered it personally on his was to a conference. Great guy, GREAT Bass. Now I truly can see what all the fuss is about. It makes me weep, the quality is out of this world and the sound, clear as a bell, just to die for. I truly thought I would never own an Alembic, now I can't get enough of them. Will have a total of 4 when the series 1 & Persuader arrive. Looks like there will be a few Fenders of mine going up on eBay shortly.

Congratulations, Roger! PLay a few hot licks on your basses, especially the Series, for me!

Way cool! Now you have to make it to California and tour the factory!

Well the above Series I bass arrived yesterday, it is stunning and in excellent condition. A beautifully aged piece of craftsmanship. The sound is gorgeous and warm, like playing an old friend. This is a definite keeper and an absolute delight to play. I feel very privileged to own her. Roger
