I bid on this item and was in touch with the seller. Something really stinks about this deal. I am no longer interested. Buyer Beware!!!

I have not bid on it yet. I e mailed him several questions such as true & straight neck or warped! He answered appears to be but I'm not a tec. He owns a studio so you would think he should be knowledgeable. I didnt get a straight answer.  I am wary! But it could be a good bass. You always take a chace on e bay.

 i have a six string rogue and i am interested in that bass also. but please dont bit before last day. no reason to make price higher. Rogue basses are wonderful. if you win it believe that you have one of the best in the world. i am in touch with seller also. he seems a good guy. i live in turkey and it is not easy to see an alembic i am the only bass player has one. so guys lets be in touch to make bid easier. Thumpsup if you want to get it let me know and give me your ebay name. i will not bid if you are the highest bidder. but if you are not i will bid ok?

Hey Deniz, I always bid late. I never have figured out why someone would even think about bidding before the last day anyway! I believe e bay bidder names are hidden but I appreciate the offer. Please bid your hearts content. I can tell you since I dont know true used values I will be conservative. There's always another one. I am also looking for a 6 string and an 8 or 10.
