The Andreas Shark Bass has Alembic Electronic and Alembic Pickups and an aluminum fret board,they are around $4000. it is a neat bass,and they don't try to pass it off as an Alembic, I got to play one last year but only through a small amp, I loved it, but not at that price.

Now this is a fake!!  Even the Logo looks similar!

Unfortunately that logo is real and the bass is not.  The Fernandez basses never came with Alembic logo's on them.  The early Fernandez basses came with no logo at all.  The later of the bunch had Fernandez on the headstock.  I think someone lied to Alembic.

I wonder if that logo that was sold on ebay a while ago wound up there?

Just checked the auction, and someone got the fake California Special for $98.99.

Okay, let me  reveal the real identity of this fake alembic
 
It's a late seventies Ibanez Roadster (not Roadstar) guitar with a re-shaped headstock. The Roadster was Ibanez answer to Fender after getting suid for copying their designs (The Artist was their Answer to Gibson)
 
Roadsters are excellent buys for the money offering much better value than current similair priced models

Not sure that the headstock was reshaped, as I've seen similar ones on copies under the Cimar brand, which I thought was just a different brand that Ibanez used from time to time.
