I noticed that Craigslist post as well in my morning Craigslist review.

This looks like perhaps it is a refinished bass. Why is there NO Beautiful Alembic Logo on her headstock ?

Noticed this one earlier, too...

This beautiful Europa 4 string bass is a custom made Left handed employee project guitar in 1999. Therefore it was built by a master craftsman for his own use.

I think the description holds the answer as to why there is no logo. It isn't an official Alembic bass.

Yes , you are correct, I did not read the whole listing !

This would also explain the inverted tail piece. Never seen one like that before even on other left- handed basses. We all know how lefties (I'm one of them) are just a bit different.

Hey , look at that tail piece, just like flying bird diving for a fish in the water !

And the horns look super thin.

Sigh, why does it seem every lefty Alembic that comes up for sale is a 34 scale?
