I would like to see what the case looks like as it alone is a $450 value.

I don't usually like multi-wood builds, but they are really nice looking.
Proportions don't look shorty - I'd always assumed they were more like 32".

Is the tail/anchor off centre?

...position of "G" saddle relative to "D" saddle looks off to me.
Some 30" shorties work better with medium scale strings, but you probably have to fuss about with gauges to get good, regular intonation?

I've never looked that close to an Alembic - they have always been too expensive for my blood - but see those screws close to a timber joint line? That's bad engineering as it tends to encourage splitting along that join, particularly if its close to the body edge.

Sent the seller this post, curious to see what his response will be...

"Hello,

Just wondering if you're aware that your seventh picture, showing a close-up of the bridge section, shows that the string retainer has apparently been installed crookedly, and to the left of the center neck stringer... hard to imagine this getting past Alembic QC... or is the picture itself distorting the alignment?

No disrespect to you, and a beautiful bass, but thought you would want to know...

Ian"
