Hi all

It's a long time since I visited this forum,I even had to reactivate my account.

I made the decission to let my Series II 6 string go. The main reason is that I have been playing the acoustic double bass for the last years.
This Series II is in great condition, and it is a shame it is not used that much anymore.

Some of the first members of the club might still remember these posts:

You can find all selling details now at http://users.telenet.be/alembic

I am not in hurry selling, and I realize there is a very small market for this kind of instrument.
But this is the very first place that I should offer it to the market.

For people who want to visit Belgium from abroad, I can easily pick you up at Brussels Airport and bring you back.
Don't hesitate to contact me if you are interested now, or maybe in the near future

Regards
Jan

Just when you think your lust for Alembic basses has subsided something like this appears. If only I hadn't just purchased a 6-string. Absolutely gorgeous bass. Wish you luck with the sale.

Belgium was surely the destiny of this instrument !

Exactly 2 hours after I put this post online, I received a phone call from someone in Belgium who lives very close to me, and later that day the deal was closed. So the selling link is now removed.

I never expected this to happen, and was prepared for a long period of the righ person at the right time looking for ...

On the other hand, I am very happy it will be in good hands close to me, and maybe I'll see it pop up on same stage from time to time.

In honour to our well known Paul Lindemans from the early days, it still puts a big smile on my face to see Paul next to his well beloved Bonnie and Marilyn.

Cheers
Jan
