Apparently all the electronics are original though. I'm really tempted to buy it, but my question is does anyone have any more information about this bass? How close to being a "true" alembic is it? http://www.bostonguitar.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=BGWI&Product_Code=BG-MISC-ALEMBIC-SERIES-1-4u kungfusheriff Senior Member Username: kungfusheriff Post Number: 949 Registered: 8-2003 Posted on Thursday, January 27, 2011 - 10:30 am:    $3500 for an admitted fake that was destroyed and rebuilt by God knows who? No freaking way. You can still get a real, undamaged Series bass in a private sale for that kind of cash. adriaan Moderator Username: adriaan Post Number: 2757 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Thursday, January 27, 2011 - 10:33 am:    Interestingly, this one was up on eBay last November, as discussed here. connor Member Username: connor Post Number: 57 Registered: 9-2009 Posted on Thursday, January 27, 2011 - 10:35 am:    yeah. that's the conclusion I just came to.
