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...

Could be a mistake for 86s3900 - easy mistake to make ... natrab New Username: natrab Post Number: 7 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Thursday, October 06, 2005 - 2:32 am:    That bass is actually for sale. Pretty nice one. You may want to check the real auction though: http://cgi.ebay.com/USED-ALEMBIC-SPOILER-8-STRING-BASS-EX-COND-NR_W0QQitemZ7355597365QQcategoryZ4713QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem effclef Advanced Member Username: effclef Post Number: 354 Registered: 1-2004 Posted on Friday, October 07, 2005 - 5:29 am:    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?

It's from Instrument Exchange, so doesn't that mean it has to be in a Guitar Center store? Rockville MD in this case. effclef Advanced Member Username: effclef Post Number: 355 Registered: 1-2004 Posted on Friday, October 07, 2005 - 7:23 am:    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?
