Half the price of the other and still triple what I'd ever pay for a bass. Sure is purdy, though.

I wonder what the scale length is on this. It looks so compact!

just a guess but isn't 32" the usual medium scale length for Alembic?

These are 32" scale (medium). 10.5lbs.... Alembic are known for heavy. It could be even more than that on a real scale.

Edit: Beaver Felton (owner) says it’s a 34” scale... then came back saying.... correction, it is a 32" scale.
