Alembic Signature 5-String
Alembic Mark King Signature 5-string bass, built in 1996.
Bass weighs 12.8 lbs., according to my bathroom scale.
There are a few dings in the finish, which are pictured.
The Dunlop strap locks were switched for Schallers. (Originals are included.)
Wrenches for the bridge, nut and neck adjustments, plus some extra screws for the brass control cavity and truss rod covers are included in the sale.
Frets are clean, level and polished, and the ebony fingerboard is also clean.
A new one of these instruments is $22,000, according to Alembic's 2026 price sheet.
This is not a case queen. I play it quite a bit, and when it's not in use, I have a ToneRite on it, in its case.
It plays like a well loved, very high quality instrument, which it is.
Thanks for looking.
