fleabag Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 I like this - not for everyone, obv. https://reverb.com/item/16405331-1983-rare-reeve-guitars-alligator-boutique-custom-vintage-uk-bass-birdseye-maple-oak-2k-new-wal Quote
Cosmo Valdemar Posted January 5, 2019 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
fleabag Posted January 6, 2019 Author 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
TrevorR Posted January 6, 2019 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
TrevorR Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) The entire Reeve story.

Maude Posted January 6, 2019 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
BreadBin Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 The 3rd link @TrevorR posted has a picture of what appears to be that actual bass. Quote
Newfoundfreedom Posted January 6, 2019 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. Quote

Bassassin Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 Why has the thread about this in the Ebay folder appear to have been deleted? Weird... Quote
Bassassin Posted January 6, 2019 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
ianrendall Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 I think I once saw a Draugr wielding one of those in Skyrim. 1 Quote
