Some poor guy got a loan against it and didn't pay the loan out....very sad. It's a 34 inch scale.

I anticipate it being around for a while with what you found and the current asking price.

Thanks for finding it. Just couldn’t let this one stay in cash converters...its no place for an Alembic...especially a 1979 series 2. It’s cleaning up really well tonight.

That's a beautiful bass, and I send my heartiest congrats on its acquisition!!  But, help me out for a sec - why the ebony nut?  Is it less sustain-y than the brass?  Or just aesthetically a nice change?  It's so unusual, and definitely pretty... I wonder why it isn't more widely sought out.
I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure.
