For what it's worth, the "owner" here comes up in Google a lot: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Evan+Balasuriya+&btnG=Google+Search Including as a bass player/vocalist and tsunami relief. If it IS real, he's sending out lots of weird/bad vibes! EffClef | ||

Hi this is Kevin Thomson the origional owner of the base on E-bay now. My son is selling for me. please cut him some slack he is doing the best that he can. I am not playing a violin about my medical issues they r what they are and i did not know he was going to mention that fact. Selling this bass is one of the hardest emotional things I have ever done. When i bought it I wanted to buy the best bass on the planet and in my view i did just that. The people at Alembic were always wonderful to me. Thank you in advance for understang --- crap i can't even wright this note. I will try to answer some question though my son. Thank you for your understanding. I am just too close to this for me to respond directly. | ||

Kevin There are two Series II auctions getting a lot of discussion. This is for one in Minnesota, not yours. All we've been saying about yours is "wow." | ||

"Wow" indeed, and questions about the bridge which doesn't appear original and might be a whammy. Bill, tgo | ||

The auction above(Tsunami relief?) ended with a bid of $8K. Was there a BIN on the listing? What's wierder is the same seller has the same bass listed again for $6K at http://cgi.ebay.com/1982-Series11-Collectors-Alembic-4-string-Bass-guitar_W0QQitemZ7421666229QQcategoryZ4713QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem. I noticed the original auction included some messages about what sounded like someone else using Emails trying to represent himself as the seller. Anybody smell fish? | ||
