TruDat! 🙂 However, I'm jumping off the BIAB wagon this year. I have simply not used it enough of late (I also did not upgrade to 2021 either).

Prepare to be WUPped.

@DeeringAmps I paid $1000 for my ever slightly used 1976 Series 1 in 1977 (MSRP was $2000). A quick web search says today's value of 1977 $1000 is $4475. After 45 years it does not strike me that my $1000 was any real investment. Footnote: The guy I bought it from was a P-Bass collector/seller. He admitted he did not know much about Alembics. It belonged to a young student (12 years old) of his who was unable to play the long scale. That is why he priced it "fairly" at 50% off the retail price.

My 'off the shelf' Series I sold new for $2000 in 1976, today a 1976/77 Series I tends to be in the $6-8K range. Fixed for those who did not get the implied "used" value I was referring to. 🙂

FWIW a Series I today is $30,500.00usd.

Navarro.

Feeble attempts to find the Am bass note, no doubt.

Since that one is a custom build it's hard to say if it was an "investment". My 'off the shelf' Series I sold new for $2000 in 1976, today a 1976/77 Series I tends to be in the $6-8K range. This one is on Reverb right now for $5.5k, The body wood is rather plain compared to mine but other than the few worn spots it's a pretty good find for anyone who wants a 'vintage' Alembic for under $6K. Here's my 1976 Series I

Well.....I Am a bass player...how Am I 'sposed to know these things?

You've 'lost it' Sheens.

Word!

Except for the fact: I (officially) stopped playing guitar after three years and switched to bass. I still play guitar with the skills of that time frame, so 4 guitars are, for me, extremely un-paltry. 😉

I use my countertop. That way I don't have to stoop to the floor to make (wonder) bread.

With 14 bass guitars to my name as well as 4 guitars and a drum set to boot.

His dad was 10 in 1964 watching The Beatles on Ed Sullivan, I was 11 (did I ever mention The Beatles landed in NY on my birthday in 1964?)

Nice.

For the Am tuning? DUH!

I did it too. Not that I actually needed it but it's def a cool looking mic and it will be a nice addition to my mic locker for under 100 bones.

Pistol Pete will be jelly for sure.

Tuned to Am of course

But would some of the people THERE soon become some of the people HERE (unscrupulous humans being what they are)?

Nice one Shane.

So, no completed tacks today, huh? 🙂
