I think it's time to give my baby away:

http://club.alembic.com/Images/411/39928.html?1179601545

It's in 9.8/10 condition IMO, with only a small ding on the face.

I'm asking $2,500. I'm also looking for trades for fretted Alembics (+cash definitely possible). I would mostly like to get a Brown Bass (I'm starting to really love the smaller scales), but I would be open to other offers. Alembic or Fodera (not NYC) only please.

I love the sound of this one and it's a dream to play, but I play fretted in all of my groups and my preferred playing style is geared toward frets, so it isn't practical to own this one.

Wow, I just checked out the pics; that is gorgeous, one of the nicest Essences I've ever seen. Actually, I think I said that last time I saw pics.....

Beautiful bass. What is the top? That looks like a mahogany body... a stock Essence has a maple body doesn't it?

juggernaught · « **Reply #11 on:** December 04, 2008, 06:43:19 AM »

Spalted maple top, mahogany body and a thin layer of purpleheart in between.

mike1762 - only early Essences were all maple. They may have changed the recipe at the same time that they changed the body shape (there used to be a larger area of wood behind the tail piece).

Kind regards,
