Yeah, Takeo san I’m really angry as well: I spoke at length with the dealer that had bought the bass here in Osaka, and the EXPRESS REASON he sold it at a low price was because the electronics were NOT Alembic’s, only the pickups were, and he explained that clearly in the sale description. HOWEVER, he was adamant I trying to say the Alembic logo came out of the shop that way, despite me telling him Alembic themselves said it didn’t and never would.
Bass Bros doing this really bums me out: the owner was very polite and helpful when I contacted him about another Series I he had….nothing worse than being insincere.
