an upgrade from alembic as much as i love them is 1200 and at mimnimum 1 year waiting.i know of a bass there for over a year waiting for upgrade
an item described as works well: and then no reply back from the seller on the noise questions... leaves me to suspect that there are electronic issues. granted its a classic....
if the seller was looking for 3700 then add 1200 for an upgrade. one would have been better off buying the 2005 maple that just went for 5300
