1993 Essence for Sale - Blue "closet classic" in great shape [SOLD]

[cjlembo]

I am in a position where I need to sell my Essence. This bass truly looks like it has rarely been played even though it is 23 years old. The blue is a great color and the gold / brass is still in great condition.

Here is the information I received from Alembic:

accent: Walnut pinstripe
body: Maple
neck: 3-piece Maple with 2 Walnut pinstripes
scale: 34" long
fingerboard: Ebony
inlays: none
pickups: MXY
controls: Essence (volume, pan, filter, mono output)
finish: Sapphire
originally made for: Steve's Quality Instrument, MA
birthday: September 22, 1993

Asking $2050 but I am willing to negiatiate on price.

Here is the link to the sale on Talkbass with many photos.

What's the nut size?  1.5"?

[cjlembo]

The nut is 1.625"....very comfortable neck.  I am usually a jazz width guy and have no issues with this one.

[bassmanbct]

I'm definitely looking for 1.5" nut... have the ultra thin Stanley neck and have gotten spoiled.  Thanks.

Dropping my price to $1900 or best offer. Need to recoup some funds from another purchase.

[edwardofhuncote]

That is a relly pretty bass, especially in blue.

[cjlembo]

Anyone interested - I can do $1800 shipped if I can get a quick sale.

Wish I had cash on hand.  Beautiful bass!
