If it had an Omega cutout, that's exactly what I'd buy if I was in the market for another Alembic. | ||

Dang it! That's exactly what I'm looking for but I just don't have the cash for it right now. Oh Well...I'll keep wishing. | ||

Has anyone else noticed this bass on eBay? These same pictures plus a couple more are on the eBay posting and the seller claims it's a 2001. Does anyone else think there's something wrong with this picture? Maybe it's a scam... Frank | ||

The location on the Ebay listing is, like the Craigslist listing, shown as Las Vegas. | ||

The auction was canceled by eBay. It might have been a scam. (Other than the date discrepancy, I thought it looked legit.) | ||

And it's back on eBay. I asked the seller why it was listed as a 2001 with the same exact pictures as the Craig's List listing which was listed as a 1991. Maybe it's legit, but it's awful strange... Still seems like a possible scam- but maybe the eBay listing is legit and the Craig's List listing was not because it was hijacked or something... Weird. Frank | ||

...the listing describes it as an 'Omega point'... doesn't the Omega describe a cutout, not a standard point body. Also the line about the 'headphone jack input' being a custom order has me puzzled. As does the statement that having a master volume making it similar to a series ll . Beautiful instrument in any case...where ever it may be. | ||

Good point, Elwood. That threw me, too, but I firgitntp mention it. If it's an "Omega Point" it does have to have an "Omega" cutout, or it's a "Standard Point" body, like you said. I still think there's something rotten in Denmark with this listing. Too many little things. Maybe he'll answer my question I'm a way that removes all doubt, but I doubt it... Frank | ||

Personally, I like the optional Headphone input. Gotta get one of those on my bass. | ||

It seems a headphone 'output' would be more useful...strike that...a headphone 'input' would bypass the need for instruments altogether  | ||

A headphone input would be sweet... if only I could get the instrument and my fingers to do what I hear in my head.... | ||

Guys, the seller responded to my question on ebay and said that the year & Omega reference was a typo and that it was also listed on Craig's List. Still... Good luck with the bidding, and may the best Club (or Non-Club) Member win! Frank | ||

The "optional headphone input" could be referring to the fact that older Series basses that are wired stereo can be played through stereo headphones without any other powering unit. I do it all the time with my '87 Series I |
