Hi Guys,
I just located an old catalogue of Sotheby?s where JE did auction some of his basses in 1988.
Don?t have it yet but I am eager to see it to take a look what Alembics he did auction back then.
BTW, Val, plse remind the photos!!!

Hi Val,

thanks for the great conversation yesterday.
I just discovered the second Sotheby?s auction catalogue from 1988 with Johns. Will keep you updated what was auctioned back then...

Take care

Hi Val,
here are some updated informations on the two JE auctions from 1988:
On April 7th 1988 there was a Series 1 auctioned with a Birds Eye maple top similar to the Spyders he had but what looks very strange on this is a Kahler whammy bridge mounted but without the whammy bar shown.
On September 12th 1988 he had the Alembic Flying V bass for auction but this one was not sold as this particular one was brought in again in this years Sotheby?s auction.

Many greetings and still waiting for
the pics.... :-)

Take care
Oliver
