Pretty good deal, if it's in halfway decent shape someone should grab this.

The seller responded that his wife was in charge of the sale and that he could send me the serial number when he " gets back " . He did also mention that he was waiting for the first caller to look at the instrument . I make no claim on this instrument as I am happy with mine . It is just of interest to me that it is legitimate .

Geez, that couch has seen better days... As Twocan said. I am guessing the bass is the same. If it is too good to be true, it probably is. I could be wrong, so hats off to anyone swinging at the fences on this one. Good Luck!!

I jumped right on that. But like sonicus, I was informed I was second in line.

I hope the listing was innocuous, and that someone walked away with an amazing deal, but my radar was set off--$900 just seems like a very specific number, yet not even the most cursory Google search of "Alembic" is going to pull up numbers in that range. Strange-ola.
