(Note: I am also offering for sale a Europa custom short-scale 4-string bass on this site.)
I need to sell a 2019 Alembic Darling custom short-scale bass in mint condition, and I want to offer it first to Alembic Club members. The previous, and original, owner commissioned this bass directly from Alembic.
Features of this build include:
* Stunning cocobolo top over a mahogany body with maple and purpleheart pinstripes
* Matching Crown headstock with cocobolo front and back veneers
* Front and rear headstock bevel
* 5-piece, satin-finished neck of maple and purpleheart
* 24-fret ebony fingerboard with abalone oval fret marker inlays
* Inlaid mother of pearl and abalone logo
* Scale length: 30.7" / 780mm
* Nut width: 1.50" / 38.0mm
* Neck width at 24th fret: 2.13" / 54.1mm
* String spacing at bridge: 0.65" / 16.5mm
* MXY neck pickup and Fatboy bridge pickup
* East Meets West electronics: volume, pan, bass cut/boost rotary control, treble cut/boost rotary control, 3-position Q-switch, LED on/off switch
* Omega heel cutout
* Continuous wood backplates
* Gold-plated hardware
* Side LEDs in blue, amber at 12th and 24th frets
* Serial number: J14687
* Weight: 9.02 lbs / 4.09 kg
The bass is currently strung with Thomastik-Infeld JR324 (.042-.056-.069-.093) short-scale roundwound strings, and comes with the build sheet, stock adjustment tools, and case candy. It will be shipped in the original custom-fitted G&G hard shell case in mint condition.
My asking price is $9,000 and we split fully insured shipping via pirateship.com (CONUS only), but any and all reasonable offers will be considered, as the instrument must be sold. All requests for additional information and/or photos are very welcome.
