Hi

It was specced to just have a top and leave the body wood to 'breathe' the theory being that a top and a back in coco makes the tone harsh. Alembic won't allow you to take a saving on a deluxe by removing the back wood as such the bass was specced as a standard and stringers and coco top upgrades applied. The coco top is crazy expensive as and upgrade to a standard....!!

The stinger tail is like $800 upgrade in itself !!

Lovely bass.....

For Sale - Stunning example of a Mark King Signature Alembic.

34' Scale
Gorgeous Deep Dark Chocolate Cocobola Top
Mahogany Core
Rare Omega Pount 'Stinger' body shape

100% absolutely mint !! As it left Alembic. It's 10 years old but was owned by a mature gentleman who always wanted an Alembic as a 'Trophy Bass' as such it's pretty much always lived in its 'monster Alembic Flight Case'

The Bass was a custom order not an 'off the shelf' stock bass

This instrument is lighter than most Alembics I've owned and I'm pretty sure it's chambered as per the series instruments.

It plays like butter and has a big voice !! Yes for sure it does the HiFi MK tone to a Tee with a set of lighter gauge strings, I have it set up with 46-105 DR's and it's got an almost J Bass 'Bigness' to the note, clear and articulate but fat and punchy with it !! Perfect....

Without question the most resonant and 'alive' Bass I've ever picked up.... it simply 'sings' and my God that E 'Gongs' !!!

I've been lucky enough to have had 4 series instruments and 7 Signatures and hands down this is by far the pick of the bunch !

Due to giving up playing Live I'm finding it tough to justify having this bass just sitting around, I want to build a custom 'Fat Bike' for the winter so.... I'm really only after cash but may possibly consider a USA MM
Sub as a cheap PX

PM me with any Questions....

I've priced it extremely cheaply.... so any daft offers will be ignored, the price is firm !

This Bass is well North of £10k plus duty and shipping

thanks man..... not owned one before so can't wait !

looking forward to getting this bad boy !

I wish the exchange was still 1.41 !!

This would be mine

I've played this and it's got bags of vintage vibe... Plenty of flexibility tone wise and plays great !

Sorry

Sold Pending

Got to be a bargain

Yep.... Seems to be the consensus 😄

Guys,

Awesome Rigg..... Aguilar DB750 / DB210 / DB115

I'm sure this Rigg requires few superlatives from me to describe.... Live this set up produces Notes so real you feel you can reach out and touch them.... Weight, authority and presence few other Riggs could match. Both cabs are 8ohm and in good shape with a couple of scuffs in the 'hyde' that have been painted so are virtually invisible !

Head is in great shape and comes with a bomb proof Boschma case.

Collection from Sunderland preferred although I'm flexible meet ups etc...


Cash Price £1400 which is absolutely cheap as chips !!

May consider trades for Fender Custom Shop Jazz or cash plus Genz Benz shuttle 9.2 but please be realistic in terms of valuations.... £1400 is cash pound notes collected...

Better pics later as I'm out enjoying a day off just now 😄

Holy crap... Bargain of 2016!!

Sorry Hardwired..... I agree it's too nice !!


I'm able to put you all out of your misery by saying BASS NOW SOLD

Cheers Karlfer.....

Now.... Wait for it 7lb 3oz. I knew it was light but that's incredible !!

Serial no V168054

I can see the serial number isn't clear in the pics.... Will confirm when home

Sorry phone battery about to die

Guys,

for sale one hell of a Precision !!

Fender USA Vintage Re-Issue Precision 1957

Absolutely totally mint condition (10/10) benefiting from a recent Nitro Re-finish from Dave Wilson (master finisher) the sunburst is simply to die for and streets ahead of anything fender Produce from the customs shop

The Bass is Ridiculously light (THE Lightest Fender i've ever picked up) and resonant with a massive acoustic tone. The Open E is HUGE !!

This Bass wins the 'Fender Lottery' in every regard.

Live the Bass is everything you want a precision to be and can produce a wide range of tones just from the feel / attack applied, Pick tone grinds like a Mo-Fo !!

Action is as low as you like, neck straight and true.

The Bass has been upgraded with the addition of a Lindy Fralin Pickup which is simply stunning !

I had a Fender Custom Shop Namm 1958 LTD Ed (1 of 100) and this instrument here wipes the floor with it in every regards.

Cash is King on this one as I have 2 Jazz Basses which cover my gig and i'm not actively looking to add to my collection and I need to re-stock the 'play-fund' after an expensive couple of purchases.

Sad to see this one go.....

Some pics for your delight

Bump for crazy stupid price of £325 shipped in the UK !!!!

£375 inc shipping !!

Bump for Price drop to £400 inc secure shipping !!!!

Sunderland

Guys,

Okay then..... £325 shipped in the UK !!!!

[b]NOW £375 inc shipping to mainland UK[/b]

Selling a might fine Aguilar AG500 at the bargain price of £425 for a quick sale..

Massive tone, bags of power and headroom, way better than the Tone Hammer in my opinion.

Perfect working order, some wear marks to the casing from gigs, but nothing you wouldn't expect from a head that's seen some gigs not just 'bedroom boogie'

Further Pics to follow if required as I'm away until Friday night

Bargain price of £425 reflects my ambition for a quick sale

Mark
