This awesome bass is too close to my upcoming build. So I want to trade for another alembic configuration that I do not currently have. Basically I don't need two instruments that do the same job. 

I'm looking for either a 4 string, medium or long scale, fretted or fretless. Or a 6 string fretted. Open to most anything, just no short scale please.

Wow that is a cool bass. How are the p style pickups? Never played the Alembic version

They sound fantastic! With the double filters it's tone heaven.

I need to start hanging out in your neighborhood!  Does everyone have Alembics on the front porch?

Nice old series one with a newer bridge pickup! Be sure to go through the hum canceling procedure with the trimpots through the back plate if you haven't yet. Tarnex and a tooth brush could be used to make the logo look like new. I have been able to weasel the logo off many alembics for cleaning by carefully using a credit card after just barely lifting one edge with a very small flat blade screwdriver. But be careful, as you can break it. It is held on by pins going into the wood at the back.
