molan Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I'm not sure the 33rd ever made is early enough to make it particularly collectible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Its only collectable to the bloke who owns it, I guess. There are some Alembic owners out there who would enjoy the bragging rights and status boost within their own online community and lets face it, many of them are wealthy enough not to blink at that asking price.

Happy Jack Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 A bass with a DIN plug ... God I hate midi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alembic1989 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Not sure about the price. But the bass looks a real sweety. Pity about the short scale. If only it was a 5 I'd be all over it! What's the weight?... oh really.. shame. LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3below Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Lovely looking bass of that era. Have always wondered how much of a 'neck diver'. Price is a bit strong for me to take a 'punt' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burns-bass Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I love the way they've used a bamboo bin as a stand. I also love the way they've placed the face of a wood finish bass against asphalt. Really generates confidence... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 That way of putting highly priced instruments on concrete or asphalt or whatever that is damaging them show the way they respect their customers and the "things" they sell, without speaking of the cars photographed with them. Money, money, money,... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Ooh a year of birth bass. I could never own a bass that looked like cheese on toast though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luulox Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I predict this will still be for sale when hell freezes over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
