I wonder what bass that really is as it's definitely not a genuine Alembic just alembic pickups and who knows what electronics are inside.

I think it's a Cort headless, judging by the body style, the PJ pickup configuration, and the fact that the back is still painted black.

What do you think the title means? Was it supposed to be "stick bass"? Or a sick Alembic bass as in this thing is amazing? To me it just looks sick in a bad way...

I messages these guys when this post was made, and I didn't get a reply and they didn't change their listing to clarify. I asked to see a picture of what was in the electronics cavity to assist them in determining just what parts of the bass were made by Alembic, since the only part that appears to be is the one split pickup.
