This is one sweet bass. It's new, it's top of the line, and it's real expensive .... They're asking $8800. http://www.atlantabassgallery.com/bass_details.php?bass_id=1004 |

Jim Rubio, Owner of Atlanta Bass Gallery Rules! The guy is the coolest and will work with you on prices. I purchased 3 basses from him in the past. Great guy and recommended. Oh, the Stanley Alembic is BEAUTIFUL. 8k is a lot of dough. Wanna buy a Wal Mk II? I am selling mine for a few grand cheaper. Pics going up soon. |

That's a very nice bass but I generally am not a 4 string player. I prefer 5 and occasional 6. It's a nice piece tho! An old jalopy ain't gonna move my heavy gear all over the place... Don't give me a GAS attack over here AzWhoFan.

Eight grand for any current production electric bass is too much. I know there are those that will disagree, but damn it goes boom, boom, boom. |

Of course it is my opinion that any (non-vintage/fame) production line, solidbody instrument is worth no more than $2500 period! If a person pays more than that then they are buying something other than the instrument. |

If a person pays more than that then they are buying something other than the instrument. It was actually closer to 9K ( $8800.oo). And in this case you ARE paying for the priviledge of having Mr. Wickersham & Co. build you a bass in the overly-taxed-and-EPA-regulated state of Cali. Not to mention you're building up his 401K at the same time LOL |

Another vote for Jim Rubio. Nice guy that will work with you, and he always tries to stock some nice lefties. Man, I wouldn't play an Alembic if they gave me one for free. Never liked either their sound or looks, although I can appreciate the level of craftmanship. Jimmy Johnson does sound nice on one, but I was never a fan of Stanley's sound with the neck pickup dialed in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvZqflzkBL4 |
