Another stunning example of Alembic craftsmanship.

Here's a real honey! Never even heard of this model from Alembic. Anyone know anything about them?

That looks killer. Some day I will own an Alembic. They've been on my wishlist forever.

Isn't that the bass that "John the Bassist" was selling a few months back?

Stunning indeed.

Yes this was my bass and a real slick player.I traded it in when I picked up a Mike Lull and a Ken Smith 25th ann. fusion elite 5.He's also got a japanese jazz and a brand new Ricky 4003 all in the trade.You know he's had 'em awhile and took his time putting them up.I wonder why?Anyway it's a 32" scale and a breeze on the back(very light).

I'm in Atlanta and can vouch for the shop. Great store, good folks. I'd be happy to stop by and check it out for anyone who is interested.... :lol:

Any reason why they don't post their pricing anywhere on their website?

That was John's Bass (johnthebassist). He traded it a while back. Someone sent me a link to a different store that had that exact bass. It was like 4300.00. Not sure the location. I'll look thru my emails and see if I can find it. It wasn't a link from Atlanta Bass Gallery tho. Jim Rubio is a great guy that owns ABG. I bought a few lefty basses from him. Your best bet is call him rather than sending email. Killer Alembic but there are many killer basses out there to be found. :geek:
