    This awesome bass was a special custom order Signature Deluxe with Anniversary electronics and a lot of other great options as a 5A quilted maple top and back from the same slab over a mahogany body. Most exquisite piece of wood ever!
    More features hard to find in a Signature bass:
    Satin neck and upper body half internally shielded.
    Switch on brass plate for stereo/mono.
    Custom order with the older "2R" Truss rod cover, meaning neck pickup is closer to neck than current 'stock' position.
    Ready for Series II electronics with the modification of Q switches instead of CVQs so already comes factory with the 'dummy' humcanceller installed but not connected, all routing factory done and a lightweight hollow body as Series II.

    This bass it's a great investment so given the specifications is in reality a Series II but just without the full Series II electronics package.
    The most stunning and beautiful Alembic I have seen in my life, also the best sounding between the dozen I've ever played, my promise.
    Manufactured in 2002, bought used but in dead mint condition just a few months ago in a local store.
    Mint condition, no scratches, no marks, no issues of any kind. Set up with a low action with Alembic CX-3 strings.
    Comes with the original black G&G hardshell case and tools + a beautiful extra broad black leather italian strap (150 USD value) with gold Dunlop straplocks.
    It's a true piece of ART, American craftsmanship at its finest but it's so costly and "lustful" that is not practical for my gigs and it's preserved in a storage since the day I bought it. That fact and my requirement of funds is the only reason why I'm considering to part with it even it's not a easy determination.
    It's lightweight, it's stunning, it's a rare bird and sounds and looks terrific, so now it's up to you.

    BASS ALREADY TRADED. THANKS ULI.

    Thanks Nizz, this couple are the best basses in my gear and both in mint condition so I'm pretty sure someone will be very happy with any of them.

    A lot of proposal with trades but I only can do it accepting any 4 string classic bass + a good amount of cash on top.
    A good 4 strings Jazz Bass, Lakland 44-02 or 4-94, Stingray or Sadowsky could be fine.
