Here's another 'contact me first-zero feedback-wanna buy an Alembic?'  auction:

I think that bass was bought by someone one the club before. Many scammers have used this bass and these exact pictures in their own auctions.

Listing has been removed.

I didn't see the add before they removed it but is it was a Spalted Maple it's the one I purchased from GC. It's been falsey listed several times.
