Hmmm. Same one, back again. That bass was on TalkBass Classifieds, Reverb, everywhere. That's a pretty good deal if there aren't any issues.

Looks like the logo on the peghead may be bent over a little at the top. Or maybe it's just the angle or lighting?

Yeah we like to keep an eye on the used market to ensure new prospects get the best first time experience from their "New" alembic, and that it is the real thing. Sometimes these are not as described by a naive but genuine seller,  a listing mistake, or it may have non standard parts for various legitimate reasons. Also as we have seen in the past an item may just Not" be an alembic. In some cases sadly it is a scam. We take these things seriously. 👍🏿🧐🧐🧐🧐🤔🐺🐑🦨🥇
Ps: im not implying anything about the above listing
The sound of Alembic is medicine for the soul!

It's a neat looking bass, wonder if the body is maple or ash?
