Cosmo Valdemar Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 When I sell my beaten up old Encore I will be sure to mention it was built at the same time as an ALEMBIC and has 4 strings and a neck just like an ALEMBIC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 Not sure what the Alembic mention is about, but the price seems adventurous. I sort of remember Alligator amps back in the day, and those were good IIRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevorR Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Built in the same year as some Wals... must be worth at least 2k, then. Good grief! £200 maybe given it’s a pretty much unknown brand! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevorR Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) The entire Reeve story.

Maude Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 "built during the same famous premium boutique bass era in the UK as Wal!" And a load of less desirable tat in sold the Kays catalogue. Ahh, the excitement when the White Arrow van arrived. BTW I have an Austin Allegro for sale, built during the same famous premium boutique car era in the UK as the Jaguar E Type. £90,000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BreadBin Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 The 3rd link @TrevorR posted has a picture of what appears to be that actual bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundfreedom Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Am I missing something here? Is that not the same bass that recently sold on eBay for about £400 by a woman who claimed it belonged to her dearly departed husband? Or am I getting confuse? Alligators all look the same to me.

Bassassin Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Why has the thread about this in the Ebay folder appear to have been deleted? Weird... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Related to that one - @fleabag posted the Reverb link & I dug up that thread in response. Seller is a conscience-free gouger who paid a woman £400 for her dead husband's unique bass & is now trying to flip it for £2500. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
