This is not a public commercial market place, meaning that commercial entities are not allowed to post items for sale unless they are an authorized Alembic dealer.
OMG! 😍
Pretty bass.
Bill, tgo (who can't help thinking that the OP seems a little out of place, maybe?)
What was the issue with this posting? I didn't see it when it was up.
And where are the photos??

they were quite spectacular. shoulda grapped a screenshot. glad i didn't make an offer,💥
The seller told me that the bass is still avail.
So why is the ad under review?

The For Sale & Trade section allows only private members and authorized dealers to post items.
The OP was, essentially, an ad. It described the bass with a sales pitch in flowery terms that seemed targeted for people who knew little about Alembics. The seller has a reverb shop with over 500 instruments for sale. As I implied in my above post, it felt VERY out of place here in the Wickersham's virtual living room.
Bill, tgo
Ah, thanks for the clarification :)
Appreciate the guidelines that help retain the community's vibe. 😀
kinda strange it hasn't popped up for sale anywheres else. at least that i was able to find with a cursory search. a strange business indeed.
Talked to the seller yesterday.
He will put up the bass on Reverb on Tuesday.
Unfortunately he doesn't ship internationally.

The seller use to own, and maybe still does, a regular storefront business. Based on some of the reviews I saw for that business I would be hesitant to purchase something from them.
