This just makes me sick. Imagine the poor dude who ends up with this piece of junk.

The bidding started at $1 and is up to $79. I imagine this will go pretty cheap. I would not buy anything from him as the following are definite signs of a bad seller on eBay:
All sales final
Ask your questions now, after it's too late - Freudian slip!
NO COMPLAINING
ABSOLUTLY NO RETURNS

It looks like a decent beginner's guitar. Buyer beware on dealing with seller, though.

Yeah, Alembic style with the famous Alembic bolt-on neck!

By the way, you bass guys. I just noticed the title of this thread: ALEMBIC 'STYLE' BASS ON E-BAY. Take a closer look at the instrument on e-bay. Aren't those strings incredibly thin for a six-string bass? Another dead giveaway is the listing decribing the axe as a guitar. Not all Alembics are basses. Similarly, not all cheap crap instruments with fake striping painted to look like a neck-thru are basses either.

Bill, the guitar one.
