Another stellar example from the UK's finest (IMO) luthier. Just beautiful

Absolutely lovely and a steal at this price! All the Spector's I've owned have a very distinctive, fat core tone. I'd love to try this with the rosewood neck - very unusual

thanks Dudi8, they are very special and this one is still here

Lovely bass and love littleal's playing in the clip - never tire of this video - some incredibly tasteful playing

I have one of these as Clarky notes - if this were not the case, Clarky's advert would have realised a sale within the first thirty seconds of its appearance. I'm not at a keyboard now, however, if this bass is still around when I get to one, I'll offer a full opinion.

For now, an instrument worthy of all the superlatives that tend to receive liberal application whenever something like this appears. Supremely playable (for me, the tiniest, most beautiful neck available), the finest build anywhere, and an extraordinary fat, organic and focused tone. I haven't played and can't imagine a better instrument (for me, obviously).

At this price, the bass is a bargain. Yes, I know that it's well beyond the reach of many of those who'd love to own it, but if you're serious about an Alembic short-scale, just try to find another at anything close to this price. One of the world's ultimate instruments for half the price of a decent second hand saloon. Stay in more.

No Valentine's cards? Treat yourself and cheer up - this strap is a magnet too!

Very expensive, very nice strap anyone?

That's 3 pence a day

Utter bargain - tour for the next two decades with this for 21 pence a week

This and the OP's other ad made my evening yesterday, then my morning when I re-read - such literary talent deserves a bump (lovely short scale too!)

Myke, thanks and yes - I'd not thought of Letts

These can frequently found on ebay for a few quid - also, on-line stores such as Allparts should carry them

[/quote]Some gorgeous basses in that rack - is it a Carl Thompson at the back - and what are the others - very nice indeed!

Bump - about as good as it gets (for the non-vegetarian)

forgive my ignorance, but are the bridge cover holes pre-drilled on these?

Just sold some strings to Myke in an extremely easy and friendly deal - a pillar of our community!

Hi Mudpup,

thanks and PMd

Bump and price drop

I too was impressed (MG5) - 10/10 build, fit and finish and great core tone and playability. In the end the board was simply too wide and I went to super-skinny shorties. Can't say I really miss the Fodera and probably wouldn't want another, however, a beautiful thing and nice to have around. The OP's new one looks absolutely lovely! As for price, well - the main basses in this bracket seem to be Foderas, Alembics and Ritters: I've owned two of the three and can understand the premium - whether it's justified is entirely subjective

Gents, thanks - I think it's a jack, but I couldn't be certain - might be nothing at all and it's a bass or amp input (but I do think its a connection in a jack)

Zaolla Silverline cable - very high-end first generation. Very nicely made, but...some occasional pops - I think that one of the jacks needs some attention. Hence, I'm selling this as operational but not delivering optimal function. If you know what you're doing or have some skill with a soldering iron, this is a bit of a bargain I suspect. It's 15' in length. £15 shipped to the UK (UK only sale). No trades or offers thanks.

Final reduction to £100 shipped (in the UK - shipping to other destinations at cost)

Extremely hard to find and in beautiful, almost unused condition, an Alembic strap. 4" wide in dark brown leather with a tan suede back, and a purple inner layer (hippy sandwich detail) - the Alembic logo appears in gold. Manufactured by Moody for Alembic - the Moody logo appears in gold on the inner side. The strap has had very minor use but Schaller strap-locks were fitted and an impression is visible at the toggle holes. These straps are very rare and retail at £180 in the UK (when available - I'm fairly sure that they're no longer in production).

Renowned as the 'best straps in the world' - make your own mind up on that one, however, certainly incredibly high-quality, very expensive, beautifully comfortable and perfect for heavier basses (err, like Alembic).

Shipped in the UK for £100 inc. Paypal gift or transfer. No trades or offers thanks
