This bass has been on ebay several times in the last few years, most recently a month or so ago.

doesn't a used series go for 2 or 3 times that listed price? If it sounds to good to be true?

If any of you out there have another pic of this Bass then MAYBE we can figure this one out together friends . I have seen a Bass that looks like it on eBay as well recently. I just looked under completed sales but could not find the pic to match. I remember from previous threads here that there was a fellow named Adam that might have had it built . Is that correct ? Where is that thread ? Anyone remember?

Your very welcomed.I'm really hoping absolutely no one took the plunge out there,as many scams lately has became a golden chance for many Alembic's dreamers! *be careful guys if it so cheap always ask yourself and think about it for a moment no one will be poorer to make you richer Peace!
