I'd buy it in a heartbeat, but something tells me it would never show up. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=121029768319 edwin Senior Member Username: edwin Post Number: 1365 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Monday, November 26, 2012 - 11:34 pm:    And it shows up again! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400347672388 keith_h Senior Member Username: keith_h Post Number: 1815 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Tuesday, November 27, 2012 - 4:38 am:    Hijacked accounts I suspect. As soon as I saw the "Contact me first" I said fraud. Keith hammer Advanced Member Username: hammer Post Number: 289 Registered: 9-2009 Posted on Tuesday, November 27, 2012 - 8:42 am:    I love it. This bass has got to be referred to the people who administer the Guinness Book of world Records as the Bass that has been most used in an attempt to scam people. It pops up at least 6-8 times a year on EBay. I hate to be the guy or gal who really owns this bass. By now I would think that it would be impossible to sell via either EBay or Craigslist if the same or a similar photo was used. hammer Advanced Member Username: hammer Post Number: 290 Registered: 9-2009 Posted on Tuesday, November 27, 2012 - 8:50 am:    What's even more funny is that if you follow the links to the site that was hijacked, it turns out that it sells cookie jars and Christmas ornaments. I figure I'd need a pretty big tree on which to hang a long-scale Series bass. dannobasso Senior Member Username: dannobasso Post Number: 1479 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Tuesday, November 27, 2012 - 9:04 am:    I missed out on this one from the original owner. It was one of two I regret that got away. hifiguy Advanced Member Username: hifiguy Post Number: 353 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Tuesday, November 27, 2012 - 9:51 am:    A longscale Series bass could BE the tree. klinkepeter Member Username: klinkepeter Post Number: 85 Registered: 2-2008 Posted on Tuesday, November 27, 2012 - 11:09 pm:    it has been removed hammer Advanced Member Username: hammer Post Number: 294 Registered: 9-2009 Posted on Tuesday, December 04, 2012 - 10:39 am:    It's up again....and again....and again....and again. hammer Advanced Member Username: hammer Post Number: 295 Registered: 9-2009 Posted on Tuesday, December 04, 2012 - 10:40 am:    Sorry about forgetting the link but not much has changed other than the account they are using. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Alembic-Series-II-bass-guitar-PRISTINE-AND-STUNNING-/121033533774?pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item1c2e29294e keith_h Senior Member Username: keith_h Post Number: 1820 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Tuesday, December 04, 2012 - 11:20 am:    Whoever has hijacked the account seems to like the $12.95 for a price. pasewark Intermediate Member Username: pasewark Post Number: 181 Registered: 4-2003 Posted on Tuesday, December 04, 2012 - 11:26 am:    LOL -> "Please contact me before you bid, I'd like to explain my terms of sale" BTW - Who's bass is that really? pasewark Intermediate Member Username: pasewark Post Number: 182 Registered: 4-2003 Posted on Tuesday, December 04, 2012 - 11:27 am:    LOL -> "Please contact me before you bid, I'd like to explain my terms of sale" BTW - Who's bass is that really?

All of the musical instruments can be found under "Other". This guy needs to be banned from the site. jix Member Username: jix Post Number: 92 Registered: 1-2009 Posted on Thursday, December 13, 2012 - 11:55 am:    Hi All, Looks like the Series 2 is back yet again.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Alembic-Series-II-bass-guitar-PRISTINE-AND-STUNNING-/380536161644?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item5899b9056c artswork99 Moderator Username: artswork99 Post Number: 1814 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Thursday, December 13, 2012 - 12:28 pm:    Unbelievable that this hack cracks so many accounts. Maybe results of... successful email phishing ?? public computer snooping ?? worms that collect keyboard entries from the browser ?? :-( an unusual group of things that we need to defend against. Too bad these disruptive energies aren't used in more constructive manners.

Would certainly eliminate the chance of a board member coming forth and saying "hey, thats my bass, and my living room!"
