Got mine today. I did not meet the reserve (whatever it was), but was offered a 'second chance' offer (finally, a legitimate "2nd chance offer"), & took it for $35US. While it is NOT an actual, true to scale and highly detailed reproduction of an Alembic bass, it is a fairly nice novelty item, more along the lines of a holiday or birthday gift, rather than a high-dollar collectible piece (in other words, I wouldn't think that any Alembic trademarks or proprietary designs were infringed upon here, but Susan will have the final say on that). I must admit, though, it has a very nice Alembic-like high gloss finish to it; now, if I can just find one in Buckyeye Burl.......... |
