Hey, Folks,

today's our lucky day. There is another brilliant auction up on eBay. Of course one-day only, and bass will be shipped from China. At the moment, the current bid is around US$ 60 or Euro 50, so this is a steal !!! If you failed to get the Roman Conqueror, this is your chance. http://cgi.ebay.de/USED-ALEMBIC-SPOILER-8-STRING-BASS-EX-COND-NR_W0QQitemZ7355749909QQcategoryZ308QQssPageNameZWD2VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I think it really stinks, I can smell it from China to Germany...

Whatever it is, the serial # is wrong: 86s8900 - doesn't fit in between 88s4828 and 94w8256.

Could be a mistake for 86s3900 - easy mistake to make ...

That bass is actually for sale. Pretty nice one. You may want to check the real auction though:

Natrab, the link you sent was up for a few days but when I went to check the price just now it says it was pulled because of "an error in the listing." Maybe the location was incorrect, not their showroom but in the People's Proletariat Guitar and Bass Collective in Fuzhou? :-)

Natrab's link is one for an active listing ...

It's from Instrument Exchange, so doesn't that mean it has to be in a Guitar Center store? Rockville MD in this case.

Yes, it is a real listing but if you look at the top line it does say ended because of an error.

Wonder what price they really want for it?
