Seb.B Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) Hello, I am selling my Alembic Orion 5 fretless (which I traded with basschat' pbat). Owning and playing an Alembic had always been something I dreamed of. But eventually, now that I had this chance, I realized that the "Alembic feeling" wasn't for me. I tried to get used to this instrument, but like a relationship, when you don't have the crush, it's better to let it go... and find a new love ! It's not about the instrument in itself, which is flawless (lutherie or electronics are top notch). So here are the characteristics :[list] [*]Alembic Orion model, built in 2000 [*][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Balance point body[/font][/color] [*][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Zebrawood top, mahogany body, with purpleheart veneer setting the top off from the body.[/font][/color] [*][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]5 piece Maple set neck with walnut veneer[/font][/color] [*][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Ebony fingerboard with side dot position markers[/font][/color] [*][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]34" scale[/font][/color] [*][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Europa electronics (2xmini dip sw Hi/Lo-Filter, 1xmini dip sw filter Q, 3xpot LP roll off freq / volume / PU blend) with side mount jack.[/font][/color] [*][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Original hard shell case[/font][/color] [/list] In the end we have a custom instrument which doesn't look like a regular Orion, but like a perfectly unique Alembic. Price : 2400€ + shipping fees (I live in France) Trade : preferably 4 strings, fretted or fretless. A vintage Jazz Bass for instance...
