For Sale: Custom Orion 5 - So New, It's Not Even Finished yet! [SOLD]

[ccc]

Hey All -  
 
I have a custom Orion 5er for sale that is not even officially born yet! (about 1-2 months)
 
Here are the specs (anything with a * is custom):
 
Orion 5 (Fretted, Right Handed)
34 Scale
Vermilion Top
Maple Pinstripe
Mahogany Core
* NO TUMMY CUT, but will have a round-over
* 1.75 Nut Width (a little tighter than standard)
* MOP Ovals
* SIGNATURE ELECTRONICS (Vol, Pan, Low-pass Filter x 2, Q-Switch x 2)
Case
 
I am selling this bass as I already have 2 other Orions, and have decided to use the funds for a custom Essence.
 
I have no pics at this time, as this bass is still being built. According to Mica, it has been poly-glossed. I am not sure if it has had it's final rub-out/buff yet. I will be asking Mica for some pics in it's current state, and will upload them as soon as I hear from her.
 
You will be getting an absolutely factory BRAND NEW bass at a USED PRICE. If Susan allows, I can even have it shipped directly from Alembic to you when it is complete.
 
I would like to ship within the CONUS only, but will absolutely consider international shipping on a case by case basis.
 
I accept PayPal so that you are protected under their rules and can feel more comfortable about the purchase. It is also most convenient for both of us.
 
Remember: FACTORY NEW Custom Orion 5ver at a USED PRICE. Someone will be very happy with this bass and save BIG TIME $$.
 
Thanks!

Ok - I can't edit my post above because it's been posted too long to allow for editing. Mica sent me some pics today, so you can now have a look at this work in progress.  Like I said above: You will be getting an absolutely factory BRAND NEW bass at a USED PRICE. If Susan allows, I can even have it shipped directly from Alembic to you when it is complete.  Retail price: $7700.00 Retail price after special of the month: $6850.00 Paid price: $5000.00  YOUR PRICE: $2999.00 - Delivered  You will be saving $2,000 AND it's still being built! I'm not asking for any kind of payment upfront, only when it is complete. I still believe in "hand-shake" deals, so I will trust your word if you would like to purchase it.  If interested, please contact me at the address in my profile.  Here are the pics Mica sent me today:

Signature electronics in a BRAND NEW 5 string with that top and awesome purpleheart accent lam for under $3K??  Somebody better jump on this one quick....... screaming deal.

I just bought a used Orion for 2000 in November!  This is super tempting.  Mine doesn't have the sig electronics either.  Really wished I hadn't just looked at this.

Beautiful bass....have sent email

Nearing completion...
 
Taking serious inquires. Since the bass is so near completion, I will need a small deposit of $100.00 to hold the bass for you.
 
[color=0000ff]PLEASE NOTE: lbbc above will get first shot. I have contacted him, but have not heard back from him yet. If I don't hear from him within 24 hours, the next inquiry will get the next shot and so on. If interested, hit me up at my email address in my profile. Thanks.[/color]

Still for sale to anyone interested. Will also except reasonable offers. This bass should be completed by the end of the month.
 
Again, hit me up at the email address in my profile.
 
Thanks!

Okay Chris, I'm ready to sell my accessory organs.....lets do this!

[ccc]

The bass is still for sale. I am still excepting reasonable offers.
 
Again, [color=0000ff]*no final deals have been made*.[/color] This bass is still available.
 
Thanks...

Wookie and I have made a deal. It's on hold for him until payment is received and it gets shipped. For all intents and purposes, this bass is sold and going to a good home.
 
I am glad I could sell it to someone here and not have to EvilBay it. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy
 
Note: Will update/finalize thread after wookie receives the bass.

Hello my name is Wookie and I'm an Alembiholic.
It started when I was about 14, I saw a guy named Jason that started me on Alembic and since then Alembic has consumed my life.  back then I didn't know the grip that it would have on me! Daydreaming at work and school I even talked Alembic to friends and family, the wife!.... They didn't understand,. Now This is my fifth Alembic. I've been seen on TB and recently went as far as eBay to sell guitars to get this fix here! It was just too good of a deal.... I'm weak, running out of models to buy....someone please help!  
 
Just joking! Thanks guys! My favorite basses in the whole world! I know I said the Europa was my last but I can get rid of guitars! they're just guitars, Alembics are like an old friend, a sort of addiction. like they say tattoos are, you know? You get one and you have to get more! I love this company!!!!!!!

[David Houck]

Congrats Lloyd!  It's a very nice bass!

[ccc]

SOLD! (sound of gavel)
 
Thanks Wookie (Lloyd). It's been a pleasure!

[wookie]

Thanks C3 (Chris), you're pretty cool to do business with. If you had lots of stuff for sale and I had lots of money, I'd buy everything from you! it was nice learning how to properly list items on ebay lol! I'm sure the new baby will love the Orion as much as I do lol. Let me know if I can do anything for you. Again you rock! Your coolness makes it a lot easier to send you check. I'd think $ will be at your place between Friday and Monday at the latest.... so now I wait for Alembic to call me for a shipping quote? I don't really know what's supposed to happen now....just wait? Thanks again. really you're are a nice person and I appreciate it.
