Hi, everybody!
In a few weeks, I'm going to have the opportunity to look for a Series II, and I guess the Alembic Club would be the most appropriate place.
I'm located in France, so I'll have a preference for instruments in Europe, but will consider any other option, of course.
All the bass't, les amis!

Thank you guys for your messages!
Harald, when you say 8500 for this bass, you're talking about Bonnie???

et bien, bien s?r qu'on parle de celle de Paul.
Ouf course we are talking about Paul's bass.

Thankk you guys for your messages!!
I'm looking for a bass that would make me sweat :-)
Not for its weight, but for everything else!!!
More seriously, about strings, my best would be a 5 string, but I'm comfortable with a 4 and 6 string bass too!
There are so many beauties in the SeriesII showcase section, man!!!
All the bass't!

You have 3 choices: either you want to try and you will buy in this shop, or you take a risk and you buy less expensive in the U.S., or you order a custom.
In all cases there is this address in Europe, about 6 hours drive. You will not find Alembic series ready to play in a shop in Europe.

c'est parce que je suis passionn? que j'?cris autant de publicit? !!
because I am passionate about as much publicity as I write!
Et ces basses sont monstrueuses !!

Merci pour ces liens, Pierre-Yves! J'ai bien conscience des diff?rentes options qui s'offrent ? moi pour acheter un bijou pareil. Mais le fait est que je ne suis pas press? ? la minute, donc je ne m'emballe pas...
Thanks for your help, Pierre-Yves! I'm aware of the different options for purchasing such a jewel! The point is that I'm not in a hurry for buying, so I manage to remain cool...
