I wonder why the head stock is hidden with a 5$ bill?

I was wondering that also Keith.  This looks a little fishy....
 
The fact that it is on craigslist doesnt help either....

yeah, definitely could be fishy.
I don't know him, so I'm not gonna defend him.
just thought it was interesting so I posted.
 
His email address does point to a real website.
www.24hourtom.com  not some annoynmous address.
Not that that means much, but for some reason I get somewhat of a warmer feeling about it.
 
He said, he was in contact w/ Alembic... Maybe Mica or one of the other magic elves remembers discussing this one?
 
and for the record, I've had great luck on CraigsList.  (albeit only w/ local deals)

This bass also showed up in this thread today: http://club.alembic.com/Images/393/18756.html?1116959903
 and you can see the front of the headstock there.
