Hi Steve,

I do appreciate your kind words, and those words really mean something from someone who purchased the Roman Conqueror. As I told Mica recently, it gives me great comfort to know that this bass is owned by an Alembic club member. I spent a small fortune on that bass, and Steve got a great deal.

Drjenny and artswork99, thanks for your interest.

As I have said before, I will give any club member a better price than I will offer any ebay bidder.

If any club member is seriously interested in this bass, please post here soon as the auction is ending shortly.

Thanks,

Jeff.

Hi Mike.

Let us know about your S2 that you're thinking of putting up for sale (particularly if you'd consider shipping to the UK).

Thanks
James

As a Jersyite , it is sorely tempting to break into the savings account. I'll ask what you are looking for in a pm.

Hi dannobasso!

Good to hear from you. Being the numbnut that I am sometimes, I didn't realize that you had previously bid on this bass.

To my knowledge, tubeperson1 (aka Steve, the owner of my former bass, the Roman Conqueror), is the only other club member to bid.

I will look for your pm and respond. Thanks!

Jeff.

Hello Jeff,
I used the contact in your profile.
Gonna go out today and prep the snowblower for the evening festivities!
By tonight I think all the Jersey folks junk will be numb.
Y'all near the bottom of the state, I'se at the top. Hope you don't get too much fluff to clear.

Hey, jeff send me an email.

Dannobasso,

I didn't get your email, so I don't know if you changed your mind.

The bidding ends in a few minutes. If you are still interested, I will discuss a discounted price with you, Tubeperson1 (Steve), and mkazaria (Mark).

As a fellow jersey guy, I'm sure you got whacked with this monster storm. I will crack out the snowblower again, and then I have a family Christmas party to attend.

It is still possible for any club member to make a deal early this week and have the bass for Christmas.

Jeff.

Jeff I re-sent the first and sent a second. I'm sure between the 3 members you will sell it without ebay. Have fun at the party. Just finished an hours worth of snow removal. Funny how teenagers won't shovel for their parents. Up and down the block I went with heated handles and Holdsworth on the ipod!

Guess I missed it. ebay says winning bid. Congrats to the lucky guy!

When I grew up in Yonkers, New York, I always shoveled snow for my parents. Not because I wanted to, or was a great kid. It was more simple than that - if I didn't shovel snow, I didn't get to use the car. My dad was a wise man. When I was 18 I moved to California. Haven't shoveled snow since. Some say I'm a wise man.

Bill, tgo

You are a wise man Bill. . .

As many of you know, there was a winning bidder for the ebay auction of this bass. As far as I know, this person is not a member of the Alembic Club.

Club members did bid, most notably Tubeperson (Steve) who owns my former bass, the Roman Conqueror. I am truly saddened that Steve, or dannobasso or Mark didn't end up with the bass. Honestly, maybe I should have listed here first before ebay, but maybe it is because I listed on ebay that I got the price I did.

If for some reason this deal falls through, I will contact these members directly, starting with Steve.

My sale of this bass doesn't mean I'm done with Alembics. It is a fantastic company and they make world renown instruments. If my financial situation improves over the next year, I may be the one bidding on a used Alembic bass. Frankly, I don't forsee a time that I would want to spend the money on a new bass from the factory.

Anyway, I thank you guys who bid and I am sorry that one of you didn't win the auction.

Jeff.

Jeff, you are an outstanding guy and you gave us more than a fair chance at this beauty. I hope your financial situation turns around quickly.
