Wonder what the initials mean? Harald longhorncat Advanced Member Username: longhorncat Post Number: 212 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Tuesday, September 25, 2007 - 6:18 am:    Interesting. Unfortunately, it's being offered by a zero-feedback seller. Haven’t we discussed a monogrammed Series before? jacko Senior Member Username: jacko Post Number: 1380 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Wednesday, September 26, 2007 - 4:25 am:    Firt Alembic I've ever seen with a bound headstock. graeme kungfusheriff Senior Member Username: kungfusheriff Post Number: 631 Registered: 8-2003 Posted on Wednesday, September 26, 2007 - 9:50 am:    We have discussed a monogrammed Series 2 before; you may be thinking of the "Be Bold and Mighty Forces Will Come to Your Aid" bass that was bought by a Club member and refinished. I would remember if this bass had come up before. It's not every day you see an Alembic that should wear a bag over its' head. longhorncat Advanced Member Username: longhorncat Post Number: 213 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Wednesday, September 26, 2007 - 12:27 pm:    I think one we discussed had the initials inlayed on the fretboard, not the headstock. artswork99 Intermediate Member Username: artswork99 Post Number: 107 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Wednesday, September 26, 2007 - 1:16 pm:    Someone purchased it privately or the seller has changed their mind. Message on eBay "The seller ended this listing early because the item is no longer available for sale." keith_h Senior Member Username: keith_h Post Number: 856 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Wednesday, September 26, 2007 - 1:33 pm:    Well the seller didn't put much effort into it. They didn't even clean the dust off of the head stock. Keith artswork99 Intermediate Member Username: artswork99 Post Number: 108 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Wednesday, September 26, 2007 - 1:53 pm:    Agreed - noticed that dust too. I was wondering if the power supply and case were included as well. the_8_string_king Senior Member Username: the_8_string_king Post Number: 839 Registered: 9-2005 Posted on Wednesday, September 26, 2007 - 6:30 pm:    There was, I think, a DISTILLATE that has initials in it that was up for sale somewhere or other (I saw it on this site) a while back... the initials were in the fretboard... perhaps that's what people are thinking of...? hankster Intermediate Member Username: hankster Post Number: 134 Registered: 6-2004 Posted on Friday, September 28, 2007 - 7:40 pm:    The bound headstock is the only one I have ever seen - very unusual. Nice, though. Rick artswork99 Intermediate Member Username: artswork99 Post Number: 138 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Friday, October 05, 2007 - 4:27 pm:    The bass is now over at The LowEnd Bass Shop and looks to have cleaned up very nice. http://www.thelowend.net/gallery/viewtopic.php?t=2579&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight= bassman10096 Senior Member Username: bassman10096 Post Number: 992 Registered: 7-2003 Posted on Friday, October 05, 2007 - 5:53 pm:    It does look good. A little TLC and good photography can make a big difference.
