I noticed that Craigslist post as well in my morning Craigslist review.
 
   This looks like perhaps it is a refinished bass.   Why is there NO Beautiful Alembic Logo on her headstock ?

Noticed this one earlier, too...
 
This beautiful Europa 4 string bass is a custom made Left handed employee project guitar in 1999. Therefore it was built by a master craftsman for his own use.
 
I think the description holds the answer as to why there is no logo. It isn't an official Alembic bass.

sonicus

Yes , you are correct, I did  not read the whole listing !

This would also explain the inverted tail piece.  Never seen one like that before even on other left- handed basses. We all know how lefties (I'm one of them) are just a bit different.

sonicus

Hey , look at that  tail piece,   just like flying bird  diving for a fish  in the water !

And the horns look super thin.

Sigh, why does it seem every lefty Alembic that comes up for sale is a 34 scale?
