Author Topic: Alembic Rogue 5 String for Sale! [SOLD] (Read 345 times)

Hard time call for tough decisions. I've been out of work for most of the last year and I need to pull together some cash - ASAP. I need to sell my wonderful 5 string Rogue (Ser No 98Q11327) which is registered here on the Alembic site. I can't bear to sell it on Fleabay and I figure I'll have a better chance of finding someone who will appreciate this great bass here on the Alembic site. In very nice condition with a few nick and dings but very few considering it's 12 years old. I'll include and ship in an aluminum heavy duty case that is actually a gun case that will do an excellent job of protecting this bass. $2,200 and I'll pay the freight in the lower 48 states.

That sale didn't work out so somebody buy this beauty and give her a good home.

Hey Zeke,

Nice axe. If only I hadn't just purchased my Elan 5 string. What's the top wood?

Mica sent me a build list when I bought it a few years back but do you think I could find it anywhere? Naahhhh! If memory serves (and it might not) I believe the top is walnut. It's a sexy looking axe and, as with all Alembics, the sound is just wonderful.

OMG! I found it - the build record that is! So much for my memory on the walnut top.

Would You consider a trade for a Dingwall Afterburner I 6 string bass ?

No thanks - the only reason I'm selling is that I need the money because I've been out of work for quite a while now. Thanks for the inquiry though.

Have you sold this bass yet?

broncofantum · « **Reply #10 on:** September 30, 2010, 09:24:11 AM »

No, it's still for sale. I'll do a follow up post when I do sell it so everyone in the club here will know.

Greetings! I am interested in purchase of this tool how it to make? I became recently the clubman.

Hello Arbakesh,

To buy the Alembic Rogue 5 string you would need to prepay the $2,200 through Paypal. I would
have to add some shipping costs if you want me to ship to Russia but only actual costs (no added handling fees). Thank you for your inquiry
and have a nice day.

Well, after all was said and not done, my Rogue is still for sale. I'll give it another day or two to sell here and then I'll have to go with eBay (as bad as I hate to) because I have bills to pay and , alas, still no job.

broncofantum · « **Reply #14 on:** October 12, 2010, 08:32:56 PM »

I've swallowed my pride and listed this bass on eBay. I've also lowered the price and since there will be eBay fees, I'll take an even $2,000 for the bass and case and you pay actual freight.
