Hello again!


Hammer, where do you have your Alembic Europa 6-string posted?  And I might as well ask my standard next questions, sight-unseen, what is the weight of the bass?


Thanks!
Dan

My '02 walnut topped 5 string Orion with Essence electronics had a new street price of $2350 with case when I bought it in 2003. I've since added a Q-switch which at the time was $75. I've been toying with selling it and was thinking $1.9K - $2K would be a fair price based on the range I've seen over the years for Orions and other setneck Alembics. With the cocobolo top I would think the selling price would be somewhere in the $2.2K-$2.5K range. Of course a lot depends upon the used Alembic market at the time the instrument goes on sale along with the health of the  overall economy and how quickly you want to sell.
