Well... it was a Distillate I think.

3K??

I wonder if we'll have a new member soon asking about the 'funky wiring' in
a 'series' bass

FWIW, that bass is up to $3001, 80 bids, and still got 10 minutes to go. Un-Be-Lieve-Able.

Unbelievable is right! I guess my pristine '86 Distillate is worth about 6 grand then. I think these people thought they were bidding on an actual Series I.

Yeah, I'm afraid that's probably what happened.

Oh well... maybe it'll work out.

"Pictures of the Carnage" would be a great band name....

Hopefully the buyer will do a search looking for information about Alembic basses now that he has purchased one, will see this thread, and cancel the transaction. I would not be surprised to see this coming up for sale again.

Ebay used to not hide the bidder's identities. Back then I would have contacted the high bidder directly and saved them some grief. Now I just cross my fingers and hope they contact me.

Fortunately for me, (and Thanks to Flip) I found this place.

I don't have an e-bay id but maybe they could be notified that the sale is fraudulent by saying it is a Series 1.
