Danno - I'd love an Excel since I like good ash-bodied basses. That combined with Alembic's unparalelled quality and one-of-a-kind electronics must be the best of both worlds. Unfortunatelly, I had to use most of the claim money to pay my debts, and now the US dollar is getting more and more expensive... Plus, my job contract ends at the end of the month and I doubt it gets prolonged. Which means I can shove my dreams of an Alembic bass... well, anywhere. :-(
But, just out of couriosity, do tell: how much would you like for it? I guess much more than $2000 as it was custom-made for you...
