Title: NOS high end basses for sale
Post by: Chris P. on June 09, 2020, 01:59:20 AM
This not a personal 'for sale ad', so I hope I can post it here.

Jan Hartman was an ace Dutch bass player and he used to have the only bass shore in The Netherlands. He was the first with many brands and distributor for brands as EBS. He also sold vintage basses and I got my '76 Tbird from Jan.

He has serious health problems, his store is closed for many years, but he still has a collection of NOS high end basses of ESH, ZON, Alembic, Neuser, Hamer, Vigier. They need to be sold. I help him a bit, we try The Netherlands first, but sending abroad is not a problem, I guess.

Of course all the vintage ones are already gone....

Here's a link in Dutch with pics of 21 NOS basses. I have pics of all the bodies and headstocks too.

The 4 or the 5 string Hamer...? a couple of unusual fins for Alembics in there...?

What's the pale yellow fretless...?

I only see one Alembic. A natural finish Essence. There are some others with "cone" style headstocks. I'm not sure what those are, but definitely not Alembic.

The Hamer 5. Not that I'm in the market, and if I were, it wouldn't be for a 5er.

That Hamer 4 is almost a clownburst finish, definitely not to my tastes.

I don't ever remember you expressing such a dislike for the Deep South.   :)
