There's a Series I on Ebay right now with a description that's an interesting mix of what's true and what's not true.

Talk about poetic license! I wonder what Mica and Susan will have to say about that?

You know what I think would be funny.  Is if this poor guy were to receive an email from every single one of us here on the board correcting him of his mis-information.  Maybe after 700 some-odd emails, he might get his facts straight.
 

Dig the alnico frets!  Terrible shame about that old Alembic company--what ever happened to them?  (Ha!)  Looks like this guy took a wrong turn on the Information Superhighway!  

He has also apparently listed it twice; same pictures, somewhat different text.

Brother Dino, you read my mind, which is probably not difficult;)
 
Paul

That will be interesting if he gets bids on both of those!

I was unable to find any recording credits for a Brett Richardson; which leads me to wonder if that part of the description was hyped also.

If I am not mistaken, he was a Muscle Shoals session man.
 
Pretty bass though.  

I did a search for Brett Richardson on the Internet (and I'm VERY good at using the various search engines) and the only reference that I could find to a Brett Richardson was assistant engineer on the Winans gospel records.  Also, I thought David Hood (yet another Alembic player) was the major bass player of the Muscle Shoals group.  
 
BTW, the two auctions are closed now.

Yes!  You are right.  I was thinking David Hood.  Sorry.  
 
Strange that the auctions are closed now.

I agree, it is a nice bass.  I ran some more searches but was still unable to find anything on Brett Richardson; but then session players are frequently not credited on liner notes.  So that part of the listing may indeed by accurate.

Strange indeed .

it looks just my Series 1, I hope he can sell for the money he's asking, I don't think so but!!!!!

PS my guitar player has a guitar that was rumored to have been owned by John Lennon.
 
I started that rumor !!!!!

David is right. The 70's Series 1 usually were sold for 2.000 to 2.500 in the past at Ebay. So there was no bid as it was to be expected.
