Mark King 5 35" scale amazing burl top Europa electronics  I bought this bass from Olie and it is the best sounding Alembic I own but due to hand issues I can't play a 35" scale bass.  It comes with a hard case and is in mint condition. $3600 and you pay for shipping.

That is the most incredible burl top I have seen. If it was a 32 I would snatch it up instantly. Unfortuately, while I have the funds...I don't have the hands (or arms for that matter). Good luck in your sale.

Hi Elwood,
 
Thanks and yes it is an amazing piece of wood.
 
Hi Hammer,
 
I wouldn't be selling it if it was 32 it has the comfort taper neck that makes it easier to play but it still is a 35.
Thanks again.
