For the $8,500 asking price of this instrument I would certainly choose to purchase an actual 100% Alembic,and I actually have done so ; with Series I/II electronics .Just my opinion .

Lot of scratch for a clone...

Must be a shop-night / employee bass, dontcha think?

I can see what the truss rod cover says, but all the components look (too) Alembic-sourced.
No affiliation, just thought it's an interesting example, and the seller story might be incomplete.

Haven't we seen this one before? I seem to remember the Omega-cut body, and the 5-string headstock with holes placed not really where I'd want them.


*same one. https://club.alembicguitars.net/index.php?topic=26075.msg264101#msg264101


And it was here before that too I think... we got us a repeat offender. https://club.alembicguitars.net/index.php?topic=11165.msg126953#msg126953

The name has popped up before. It has a trussrod cover at the headstock.

I did do a search on my phone but did not see the other threads until I tried from my computer... Sorry for the duplicate thread.
