Saw it on eBay - If I hadn't been on holiday or bought myself a Nikon with my birthday money, I'd had my dream 1st Alembic. Still looking at going to the bank manager tomorrow!! Don't think they'll be too happy with me anyway!

Beautiful, (plus a short-scale!!) Laser LEDS. Coco Bolo, the whole cahoonas.

Whatever happened to the Paul who originally ordered the bass? Used to be very active on the old Yahoo forum.

I was hoping it was you Jazzy! ?2300 BIN price.

Was going to kick my ?2k down to start the bidding last night, and it had gone already....

...let's hope a member here has picked up the bargain.

yeah and for the UK thats probably a good price.
Like you I was seriously having problems saving myself from bidding on it. But if I did I'd still want a Series I or II so its best that it went before i made a decision. :-)

I'm really looking to save my pennies for a Series I or II bass. But they don't really come up that often in the UK. Many of the ones I've seen are in the usa and are the older 1970's models which probably need the electronics upgrade which is probably an arm and a leg.

I think if the right model came in the USA , the way the pound to dollar rate is now, its probably gonna be a bargain, even if you travel to the states on a cheap flight to collect, and have a holiday as well. lol.

Thats what i'm hoping, although travelling there at the moment is probably quite risky.

Have you seen this place ?

or this one in Germany

I hope you manage to get one soon. They really are amazing. It's probably the only time that a dream and its reality are the same.

I'm the same Jazzyvee. I tried out a few SC Deluxes in the States but was a bit dissappointed with the sound compared to my Series I so I'm holding off. I contacted Val for the price to retrofit the pickups but by the time you had a two way shipping cost then it was working out about the same as another SC Series II I've seen in Europe.

I'll keep my eyes peeled...
