There's a Series I on Ebay right now with a description that's an interesting mix of what's true and what's not true. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2545880597 | ||

Talk about poetic license! I wonder what Mica and Susan will have to say about that? | ||

You know what I think would be funny. Is if this poor guy were to receive an email from every single one of us here on the board correcting him of his mis-information. Maybe after 700 some-odd emails, he might get his facts straight. | ||

Dig the alnico frets! Terrible shame about that "old" Alembic company--what ever happened to them? (Ha!) Looks like this guy took a wrong turn on the Information Superhighway! | ||

He has also apparently listed it twice; same pictures, somewhat different text. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2545857384&category=4713 | ||

That will be interesting if he gets bids on both of those! | ||

I was unable to find any recording credits for a Brett Richardson; which leads me to wonder if that part of the description was hyped also. | ||

If I am not mistaken, he was a Muscle Shoals session man. Pretty bass though. | ||

I did a search for Brett Richardson on the Internet (and I'm VERY good at using the various search engines) and the only reference that I could find to a Brett Richardson was assistant engineer on the Winans gospel records. Also, I thought David Hood (yet another Alembic player) was the major bass player of the Muscle Shoals group. BTW, the two auctions are closed now. (Message edited by kipknee on July 16, 2003) | ||

Yes! You are right. I was thinking David Hood. Sorry. Strange that the auctions are closed now. | ||

I agree, it is a nice bass. I ran some more searches but was still unable to find anything on Brett Richardson; but then session players are frequently not credited on liner notes. So that part of the listing may indeed by accurate. | ||

David is right. The 70's Series 1 usually were sold for 2.000 to 2.500 in the past at Ebay. So there was no bid as it was to be expected. Harald | ||

Well, the listing has been re-written! I wonder who mentioned it to him......... But again, there are two listings, and both at $5000. |
