Hello again Alembic gurus! I'm still looking for that magic fretless Alembic 4 string. I was contacted recently by a Club member who was thinking of selling a fretless Elan 4, but I think I may have inadvertently talked him into keeping it! Ah, such is my enthusiasm for Alembics! And, after correspondence and conversation with this quality individual, I know that bass has a good home and is loved.
So, I'm still in need. The fretless I have now is doing fine and paying for itself, but I can't help it- I just want a fretless Alembic! Ideally the bass would be around $2,000US, but I could sell some stuff and make it to $3K. The bass will be on stage, not in a closet. I'm less concerned about cosmetics, and more concerned about having plenty of fingerboard left on a straight neck, solid electronics, and hardware that's functional.
This post, I guess, is more of an emotional appeal to someone that has an Alembic fretless 4 not being played much, but feels like the bass should be played. Collectors play an important role in the preservation and curation of instruments, and players give them life! Your contribution to my cause would not only increase the amount of Alembic tone in the universe, but would put gas in the tank & shoes on the feet!
Many thanks in advance!
