Look: http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=23300&item=3714278455&ssPageName=STRK:MEBWA:IT On a request to send a more detailed picture were it sais Alembic, the owner wrote: "Dear Mr. van der Grient a few years ago the electronic was ordered for an Alembic Bass, but never built in. So I have to say, it is an electronic for an Alembic bass, I cannot say if it is produced by Alembic." (picture uploaded as attachement) My guess: NOT Alembic electronics, or... What do you think? keavin Intermediate Member Username: keavin Post Number: 124 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Monday, March 29, 2004 - 7:31 am:    does'nt look like alembic to me,in fact im sure its not,someone just trying make money from the name 'alembic' again. keavin Intermediate Member Username: keavin Post Number: 125 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Monday, March 29, 2004 - 7:36 am:    the thing about us alembic owners were the unofficial 'ALEMBIC POLICE'we can spot a fake a mile away! mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 1524 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Monday, March 29, 2004 - 1:10 pm:    I contected the seller this morning. Here's what he reported: ------------------------------------- Dear Mr. Wickersham, thank you very much for your important information. Falsely I thought, that this device is an original Alembic-component. To be on the safe side, I have finished the auction. ------------------------------------- So at least he knows and can represent it better should he ever decide to sell it again. Thanks to the Alembic Brigade! bkbass New Username: bkbass Post Number: 9 Registered: 11-2003 Posted on Monday, March 29, 2004 - 3:47 pm:    It looks like early EMG stuff.They had used plastic shafts and the preamp module mimics their earlier logo. valvil Moderator Username: valvil Post Number: 388 Registered: 7-2002 Posted on Monday, March 29, 2004 - 8:19 pm:    Hello Marco, welcome to the club. Your first post seems to indicate that you are a true Alembic lover; thanks for the tip.

Nailed an imposter right out of the gate. Your profile doesn't indicate if you are an Alembic owner. If so any photos you can post will be appreciated. If not, glad to have you still.

There always seems to be someone trying to pawn off some kind of Alembic imitation (sometimes in name only, like the one you found). Thanks for jumping on it. I agree with Sam: Glad to have you aboard!! Bill marco New Username: marco Post Number: 2 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Tuesday, March 30, 2004 - 8:14 am:    Thanks for the warm welcome. I will introduce myself in my slow english in the section "Introductions". Greetings from The Netherlands. bracheen Advanced Member Username: bracheen Post Number: 333 Registered: 11-2003 Posted on Tuesday, March 30, 2004 - 8:32 am:    Marco, your English is way better than my Dutch or Flemmish. Maybe we can make Elf the official language of Alembic.

I will not be the only Belgian or Dutch Alembic fan who welcomes you here. Watch out for PTBO who will be here soon, he's pretty late ;-) I am looking forward to see your introduction. Nice to see the Benelux family grow ...
