That is not the standard Becvar logo. Cool guitar, huh!!!

I have taken the pics, and resized them. I am on my way off to my last Mardi Gras gig right now. Running late as usual, but I promise to upload the pics of the logo and headstock when I return.

It will all be too obvious that the bass in question is indeed a Becvar.

This peghead hss pretty much the same shape as the bass being offered on ebay now:

I don't know if this is the standard logo or not, but I bet Michael will.

Ok! Here you go:

I think that settles everything. Check the auction pics. You can actually see the shape of where the logo once was. (Message edited by dela217 on February 20, 2007)

By the way, the seller of the bass did contact me. He was interested in seeing the pics too, so I sent them along to him. I wonder what will happen next.

Thanks Michael,
This pict. is exactly that we want!

These guitar head logos are decorative thing that I think.

The listing was removed at about 12 noon eastern.
It is not clear if it was Ebay or the seller.

The seller and I talked about it. He said he was going to pull it and have it relisted with the proper info.

This doesn't sound quite right:
Vintage 1978 Alembic BekVar Custom Bass Guitar

You're right - the listing is incorrect, but I understand the confusion. This bass was not made at Alembic. Bruce Becvar made his instruments at his own shop. We supplied him with parts for some of his instruments.

It would be nice if the seller would ammend the listing as to not confuse the potential buyer of this bass.

dela217 · « **Reply #24 on:** February 22, 2007, 06:22:53 PM »

The listing is incorrect. He even spelled Becvar wrong. When I spoke to the seller, I told him that it was a completely different brand altogether. Perhaps he is trying to get the Alembic connection in there to up it's value.

It is a nice piece of Zebrawood regardless. Let's hope he gets it straight. Owning a Becvar is nothing to be ashamed of.

Is Bruce the guitar player or is that his brother? I had a cassette once that had some pretty good stuff on it.

Sam - That is Bruce. Google him. He has lots of music. Not my cup of tea though.

Zebra is my all time favorite. I really like that top a lot too. It has all the things I like. Zebra top, yellowed finish, etc....

I will try not to bid. I really have a hard time with long scale and the large body. I wonder if the C sides will give the feeling of a smaller bass?

What I like about it is the grain angles in from the bottom towards the neck just like on my Epic. I'm looking at it thinking how good they would go together. Those dang discretionary funds are getting in the way again.

The auction has been pulled again. This time someone hacked into the auction and put a buy it now price on it with an email address that was not the seller's. I responded to the hacker as though I was interested. He wanted $2000.00 and would offer free shipping. Yeah right. I contacted the seller and of course he was furious. So the auction was pulled. Just in case anyone here was following this one.
