Ouch..... I need to stop looking at that picture.
What is the wood recipe?
Is the body completely maple as in an Elan?

Hi Jazzyvee,

yeah,she's got a maple body with a maple/purpleheart neck and ebony fretboard. You can imagine her sound.....She cut's trough EVERYTHING ;-)

Still mine....
4000?

I have to stop looking at that bass.. Elan headstock, Europa body that's my perfect body shape for a alembic 5 string and signature electronics would control that inherent brightness of all that maple. Seems like you have had my custom bass made.

Hi there, beautiful bass and would be a great pairing with my incoming black '88 Spoiler. I don't suppose you would be interested in some sort of a trade involving my '76 fretless Fender Precision (see http://club.alembic.com/Images/395/80837.html?1276791812) by any chance? I value this at around ?1,500/Euro 1,800. I am based in London, UK. You can contact me at mark dot clark at db dot com.

Sorry,email sent

Hey Markus, still trying to think of ways I can afford your lovely bass! As you mentioned the weight as the reason for you selling in your build thread, it might help the sale if you let us know what this beauty weighs

Hi,

it's sold to Mr. Jazzyvee

Nice!!! Congrats to you both on the transaction...

Jazzy is piling up the basses now- Elan, Europa, SC and now this black custom?

Congrats Jazzy!! I love this bass.

Hey, I'm really looking forward to this bass when it arrives as the Elan headstock and Europa body are my fave shapes after the SC bass.

I never thought about it that much but I guess I am piling up the basses though still a small fry compared to a number of members here with vast collections of Alembics. Rami & Dannobasso come to mind here.

I suppose it's quite hard to have too much of a good thing especially when it's so close to the choices I would have made for myself if I were choosing to have a custom.

I remember stupidly deciding not to bid on a purple Elan a few years back and regretting it. Then it came up for sale again from a member here and I snapped it up. This time round colour was not going to be the deciding factor.

Unfortunately still not enough gigs coming in to give them all a good public airing. But regardless of that I still get lots of pleasure playing them at home and the occasional gigs.

Will let you know what it's like when it arrives.
Thanks for the good vibes.
Jazzyvee
