I hope no-one buys this thinking it is an alembic.

I have contacted the seller pointing them to this site to see what a proper alembic looks like.

The first page on my mobile shows a black Yamaha bass, but if you click through you'll see an Elan 4 PJ in walnut.

I only see the yamaha bass and from the description I would expect that to be a 5 string bass and Jimmy Johnson signature bass.  Maybe it's a listing put up in haste and posted the wrong pictures. But maybe they will change the listing soon after my prompt. :-)

I'm only seeing the Yamaha pics, which do not match the description.  Perhaps seller, a music store, is paying someone who knows nothing about instruments to post their listings.

I'm seeing redirects Chinese counterfeit off P basses. Looking at the account I suspect it is a fake US front for Chinese counterfeiters as everything says they are imported to the US.
