A google the other day revealed this dude with a Romanian name selling what appears to be Bill's Series 1 guitar:

Which indeed appears to be Bill's posted in the Showcase:

and contains the Ebay auction text:

Wow. It would have been a deal at $1300.
I had emailed decebal a couple months back and he
finally replied saying how much are you available
to pay me for it?

Give me a free plane ticket to Romania and we'll
talk, tovarich.

That is indeed mine, and I sure didn't list it. I emailed the link at the bottom advising them of the fraud.

Bill, tgo

That reminds me, we haven't seen any P-bass copies with Alembic Elan stencilled on the headstock lately. (A GOOD THING...maybe the dude finally got caught.)

Oh, Bill...I had my hopes up!!!

Twins! Yea, that's what it is. Same birthday, same identical looks, they MUST be twins! Think of it, the only identical twins in Alembic history and I could own both! I gotta hurry up and go bid on it! LOL

Jonathan, if I ever do decide to sell The Other One, you get first crack.

Bill, tgo
