Relisted as I had withdrawn it from sale. For sale is my beautiful Alembic Europa from the early ’90s. The bass is in very good condition. It has some usermarks and small damages, but looks great overall. Everything works like it should and the neck plays great with a very low action. The neck is straight and well adjustable, frets are still good too.This bass has a broad range of sounds with it’s 2 pickups, eq and filter controls. Nut width: 41mm String spacing: 19mm Weight is 4,45kg on my kitchen scale. Balance is good, it’s ergonomically a comfortable instrument. A softcase is included in the sale. Not sure if it came originally with the bass. I’ve been told it is by the previous owner, but it’s not branded. It’s a fantastic bass, but other type basses fit my needs better. Lowered fixed price: €3.650 I am located in the Netherlands, but experienced in shipping if needed. Trades/partial trades are welcome; Fender (60s refin to modern active stuff), Music Man, Modulus 34" quantum or earlier Flea, 5er with narrow stringspacing, strat/jazzmaster or other offset, good acoustic guitar…-

When I was looking for a Stingray it appeared that all nice ones at a realistic price were in the UK! The import killed it for me though. Eventually I found a pretty unique one (original inca silver '87) from my birth year -
42mm. The neck is less bulky than a Funk Unlimited. -

Modulus Quantum 4 For sale or trade is this beautiful Modulus Quantum 4 with a nice cherry burst finish and stunning quilted maple top. Preamp and pickups are made by Bartolini. The preamp functions are; volume, pickup selector, mids, bass/treble stacked. Mini switches are for active/passive and mid frequency selection. The preamp output can be controlled by a trimpot. The bass is in very good used condition with a few small damages and usermarks. The scale is 35", which is a bit too much for me. I can’t find the strap pins (Dunlop flush mount) so those are not included. They are easily available though. Fixed price for cash sale €2450 I’d happily trade this beauty for a similar 34"scale Quantum or earlier Flea model. I am located in the Netherlands, but happy to ship at buyers risk. Upfront payment methods only.-

What happened here?

I think it had been refinished over the original lacquer, and that it had been sanded down to the original finish at a later point. -

Maybe it would be educative to open a topic about forgeries that people come across. It can be helpful for a lot of people I can imagine. -

Yeah who knows, this could totally be the case. Though it would be a costly thing to fake a pre-cbs Fender well, with brazilian fretboard and convincing pickguard. In the "best" scenario they haven't been discovered yet. -

On the Gibson story: It could well be that they are very non-authentic looking and are recognizable as fakes with just a little bit of knowledge. As they are probably cheap as chips guitars with a fake logo. All the fake Fenders (most seen as easiest to "fake") I've seen had at least 5 aspects that didn't match with a real one. Maybe a good luthier built bass (Nash per example) could fool at first sight. But those don't come in thousands. The vintage stuff is another story. -
Great pedal, but I don't use it that much sadly. €140 + Shipping if needed. I am in the Netherlands
