Looks like the Essence is now over in the UK and on e-bay again. Maybe....just maybe I'll try to get her (Tulip) back one day. Hey if any clubmembers end up with her, let me know.

The seller's note mentions (at the end) that he might be willing to accept some cash and an instrument of quality. I've emailed the seller with an offer, (which seems somewhat contrary to eBay's regulations), and I'm waiting to hear back from him.
I'll keep this thread up to date if the offer is accepted.

I emailed him about it. He wrote right back. Seems like a straight shooter to me. He also has a Gibson bass and a Trace Elliot Combo out there for auction.

Hi, im new here. Looking to buy my first Alembic. Been playing a Status for far too long now. ?1500 seems a good price. I have been talking to the guy selling this bass and i hope to pick it up soon. Its a fine looking Essence. I wondered if anyone could tell me more about the sound? I have played a Signature Standard and a Deluxe and wondered how close it would be.

Also just seen this pop onto ebay... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4713&item=3739276416&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

So, can somebody tell me how this bass sounded? I like the wood combination, and I was wondering how much if at all walnut may change the sound.

Thanks,

Alemboid

Actually, I think it's rather cool that Tulip is in the UK. It'll give me a really good excuse to visit !

Isn't the Isle of Wight Mark King's old neighborhood?
