I can't imagine Alembic would let an "Unfinished Bass" get out of the shop... |

Mica, do you have any info on how this came about? is this an actual Alembic or a copy that someone made to look like an Alembic? ~Taylor Watterson |

Maybe an unfinished instrument that walked out of here. I can't really tell from the photos. But I can tell you that if we don't finish something, then there is a reason why like a problem with the wood. We do not sell items that are unfinished. My hunch is that a former employee took items when they left that they were not entitled to take with them. I can't imagine that it's anyone that works here now, but I know for a fact some of the folks that were here before removed items without permission. So uncool. Taylor, I'm sorry, but what's the difference between an actual copy and a copy made to look like an Alembic? |

hmmm, i will try to get some clearer pictures from the seller. when you say a problem with the wood, do you mean its cracked or it just didn't look right? i will try to get the sellers name if that will help Mica, sorry about that, many sleepless nights means foggy mind :-), so just a copy ~Taylor Watterson |

Well, the listing is gone now. The seller might be running scared of being identified. Mike |

Anyone grab any pics before it was deleted? I'd imagine it should be put in the stolen Alembics section, even though there's no serial # |
