This just makes me sick.  Imagine the poor dude who ends up with this piece of junk.

The bidding started at $1 and is up to $79.  I imagine this will go pretty cheap.  I would not buy anything from him as the following are definite signs of a bad seller on eBay:
All sales final
Ask your questions now, after it's too late - Freudian slip!
NO COMPLAINING
ABSOLUTLY NO RETURNS
 
It looks like a decent beginner's guitar.  Buyer beware on dealing with seller, though.

Yeah, Alembic style  with the famous Alembic bolt-on neck!

By the way, you bass guys.  I just noticed the title of this thread:  ALEMBIC 'STYLE' BASS ON E-BAY.  Take a closer look at the instrument on e-bay.  Aren't those strings incredibly thin for a six-string bass?  Another dead giveaway is the listing decribing the axe as a guitar.  Not all Alembics are basses.  Similarly, not all cheap crap instruments with fake striping painted to look like a neck-thru are basses either.
