The listing is clearly for an Alembic Elan bass. Any readers of this forum won't fall for it, but others will. I've spoken to and exchanged emails with the unfortunates that wind up with these fakes. It's not the most fun part of my job.
I do contact sellers of these fakes. They are usually victims of fraud and willing to share details about how they got the bass or guitar so I might be able to track down the person producing these and stop them. Usually, the seller is glad to comply with my request to remove the name from the peghead and relist it as a No-Name instrument. I have emailed the seller of this bass.
It's probably best to post any fakes you see on the Club so that potential buyers might find these conversations as well. I prefer to contact the seller directly and not go through ebay's system, since I'm not trying to punish the seller, but rather educate and correct the situation.
