...everything is a bright red flag...

Oh yeah, a real tempter... a Jerry Garcia tribute guitar, to boot. (Didn't know Jerry played left-handed basses...)

left handed Persuader in the Vector body shape, cool bass with a rare body but definitely not worth $2000 for only having 1 p/u

Ebay will not let me have starting bid higher than 500, so if there is any bids less than $2000 i will not be letting this one go. I wanted to put this as the starting bid.
 
This is a train wreck in progress.  The seller obviously is an eBay newbie along with being an Alembic newbie.  He has no reserve listed.  It's going to get ugly when the winning bidder (well south of $2000) wants the bass and the seller doesn't want to give it up.
 
Bill, tgo

well you have to use the reserve price or an auction w  a reserve costs extra to do

+1 on the train wreck

oh gawd make that +2!

...I bet this mess hits +50 before it ends...
 
Train Wreck is a cool name for Jerry's tribute left handed bass-o-matic...

This would be just what I want, but only if it's short scale. The SC body shape doesn't work for me, and I need a big space between the end of the neck and the first pickup. I thought I'd never find this combination without paying full retail for a new custom job. What a kick in the teeth that it's left-handed. I was hoping maybe he mirrored the pic somehow.

It's like a UFO sighting . . . I saw SOMETHING, but I sure as hell don't know what it was . . . .
is there any way this is actually an Alembic?  Is this some obscure after-hours project axe?  A really bad copy?  PhotoShop?    
 
WTF IZZITT ??

I feel extremely comfortable in saying this is an 80's Alembic Persuader with the Vector shape, similar bass can be seen here with same electronics

That's such a bad description and vague poor picture, it wouldn't surprise me if it turns out to be a right handed:
 

(pic altered by me)
 
If I'm not mistaken, the beaten black one (from Taylor's link) sold for a ridiculous low price (well south of $1000)
 
Looks like a nice bass though!

I saw this, and it made my skin crawl!

I asked for the SN, and was told 8gf3953  It's likely that the seller mis-read the SN and the g is a numeral that can look like a g.  
 
Anyway, I searched for F3953 and there's been a discussion dating back to 2004 about a bass with that alphanumeric combination :  http://club.alembicguitars.net/Images/449/11481.html
 and http://club.alembicguitars.net/Images/449/11399.html?1090689730
 
From these 2004 discussions, it seems that the mysterious 'g' is actually a '6'.  So, most likely an 1986 Further bass.
 
I also asked if it's really a lefty and not a reversed photo, and the seller simply said it was 32 inches.  (wha?)  Consultation of the Alembic records, given the correct SN, should clear that up.

I sent detailed e mail to seller.
Waiting for responce.
