Hello everyone.
Got this amazing Alembic Essence 5 in a trade

It's 99% mint, (1 mm ding on headstock, scratch on PU and a bit of paint gone on the corners of the neck pickup routing) so clean that I'm even scared to take it out for home practice.

Since I don't want it to become a case queen I am considering a trade.

Amazing sound is the most important part.
Deep notes, this bass rings like a bell and the filter turns this bass from a dub monster to a slap machine.

This one has a very rare purpleheart top (never seen another before)
Looks like it's not available anymore on the Alembic builder.
Mother of pearl inlays, three stripes purpleheart neck (custom spec), front amber leds on a slab of the blackest ebony.
19mm spacing but very easy to play.
Weight is 10,7 lbs (4,8 kgs), perfectly balanced.

So amazing that's on the Alembic website as a showcase for the purpleheart tops :

Looking for a 5 strings fretted in the same range.
