You are correct Keith. I started playing Bass in 1968 on a Sears Silver Tone 4 String :-O That was fun?? Then saved up enough to buy an old '65 pre CBS Jazz Bass (I was in love);-) Later, I found a NICE old 1960 pre CBS Jazz and loved it even more. As much as I loved the old Fenders, they had a BAD habit of the neck moving out of adjustment. Especially, when the weather temps would change. It sounds stupid, but, I have seen the times when I could actually feel the action changing in my left hand during the first set in certain clubs, with the heat of 1,000 watt pars staring down on top of us. Something had to give, so in '99 I bit the bullet, and bought this wonderful piece of art. I told Mica (she probably doesn't remember now) That I wanted a 4 String about the same body size of a Jazz, with a slim fast neck, low action, twin pickups, and a built in preamp that I could kick the volume freak guitar players butt's with. I picked the wood, they built it, and this is it. WOW!! The neck is ROCK SOLID, it plays like nothing else that I have ever played in my 58 year old life. I'm telling you guys, she's a player. I replied to Tom, that I became disabled in 2008. These issues stopped me, and haven't played live for 5 years or so because of spinal issues. I need the money to repair my house, more than I need the Bass. I just hope someone will get it and love it. It is absolutely One-Of-A Kind, I have never seen another one like it. Let me know if anyone wants it, several people have shown interest and they all love it. This is a great deal for a Bass Player, or a collector. It would cost A LOT more money to have the good folks at Alembic to build a new one like it.
Thanks for all of the kind help guys.
Greg
