[SOLD] FS/FT: 1978' Series I w/RF upgrade/refin
« on: December 14, 2019, 01:06:47 AM »
I am looking to sell my Alembic Series I. I have had it almost a year.This was from Mica a while back:There is an invoice from 2010 where we did an RF upgrade and did a complete refinish and we did fix the peghead in 2006. We also glued in a loose inlay (invoice doesn't indicate which one)" Also has Red Led's.
   This is the best sounding of all the Alembics I have ever owned. The length of the neck and weight is wearing on my body and I have to scale down in size, hopefully not tone.
    I recently was in California and visited the mothership and they gave the bass a clean bill of health. I forgot the name of the cat working in the shop...anyway he said the peghead is now stronger than it was before it had its accident many years ago.

$4795 Shipped in original Hardshell case(one of the latches is a little finicky but works)Trades:Series I med scale would like one with RF upgrade without issuesEVH 4 or 5 String 32" Scale (anniversary electronics a plus)I am open to other trades 32" scale is a must though.
Prefer a sale to put towards a build at Alembic, but interested in seeing what anyone has to offer.

Yes is it.
I have reservations about letting this bass go, so amazing.
The reality is I have to eventually deal with the weight and long scale of basses I play as I age.

Yes it does. I might be retracting this and try and last a couple more years with it physically. Have a custom built unless the perfect trade comes along.

I would love to find someone who wants a trade but it seems like it not meant to be. I need to clear $4150 after shipping and any PayPal fees.
