Oh. I still wonder how that dude got my private email address. Anyway rest assured that it is not for sale. I love this bass. It actually fits me better than the other two.

Just to remove any doubt of where this bass is now. Here is a photo of it kickin' back with its bros'.

Hey Ollie -
New Member here, just joined today. A guy by the name of Sean Coeplin from the UK said this was his bass and had it for sale on Ebay. I do believe it was the Honeyguitar name. Anyways, he told me he had it listed with Square Trade and tried to get me to Western Union him 3100.00 for it. He sent me the same Guitar Center Pics. I guess there are a lot of Stupid people out there.
Glad you like your new bass. Take care -

Yea, thats the third time I've seen this schmuck list it. He flat out stole GC's add too. I bought it from direct Guitar Center. I played it yesterday at church and it really sounded great. I love my 5 string basses but,hey man I'm old school, played 4's for over 25 years.
Let me know how you like the bass once you get it, I like the wood on yours better than mine it looks great. Any questions you have the guys here are great too.

There you go. I just left you a reply on the other thread. Yeah, that guy said the bass was with Square Trade in the US and he was in England on business. Then he said the bass was there in England with him. Man, I wonder if people actually fall for that? Yeah, he totally took the exact GC ad. Unbelievable. Thanks for the info, I'll definitley scour this site. I play a slew of other instruments, mostly 4 as well. This Alembic makes # 15 for me. I see you play a lot as well, didn't look at your profile before I posted the other thread. My latest acquisitions this past year are a Wal Geddy Lee mach 1, a '68 Hofner Beatle bass for playing all things Mcartney, a Hamer USA 12 string for the Kings X / Pearl Jam stuff, a Bean - Valeno All Aluminum 8 string, a 77 Fender Jazz, and an Adam Niti Signature Warrior 6 string. I also own two Warwicks, a neck through thumb 4 Bubinga, and a White Streamer II with the LED's. Two old Spector NS2's from the 1980, a '75 Fender fretless Precision, a Washburn AB20 Acoustic, and a Yamaha John Myung six. Have you seen the Dingwalls with the Novex fanned frets? I can't wait for this Alembic, my Entwistle needs some refreshing in the ole' woodshed. ( Can you see the real me? ) Take care - Dennis

I just got an email from the guy again yesterday. He told me he still has the bass for sale. Here is his Email seancopelin@gmail.com. He sent me a forged Square Trade Member Seal Profile and when I went to the real Square Trade Site and typed in his name for verification, it came back as seller unknown / not affiliated. What a Joke.

Man that guy just won't stop. I sure hope nobody falls prey to this idiot.

walwarrior · « **Reply #22 on:** May 02, 2006, 04:01:37 PM »

he just sent me another email about an hour ago. I told him I purchased another Alembic elsewhere.
I sent Ebay and Square trade all copies of our email correspondence and explained what this guy was / still is trying to do. I hope they nail that Sumbich! Take care -

olieoliver · « **Reply #23 on:** May 02, 2006, 04:53:38 PM »

I sent the guy an email too asking him if he still had it for sale and he replies YES, what a putz! I sent him another asking him if I could pick it up locally. I'm gonna let him take the bait, jerk him around a bit and then let him know just how stupid he really is.

walwarrior · « **Reply #24 on:** May 03, 2006, 06:40:35 AM »

Ha ha! I told him that his offer of 3100.00 was too good to pass up and that I was going to Western Union the $ to him. I let him sit on that for a couple days then he emailed me back wondering where the $ was, he has another customer waiting. What an idiot. That's when I said I bought another bass and haven't heard back since. You'd have to be a real sucker to Western Union $ to anyone other than a relative.
