I am interested in getting the above pups for my home made bass. I have a couple of questions so if you could help I would be very greatful. Firstly what is the difference between the 2? I mainly record direct to recorder (AW16G) as opposed to playing live, will I need a dedicated Alembic pre or will a good mic pre with DI do the same job? The pups on my bass at the mo are a pair of EMG Jazz what sort of results generaly can I expect with replaceing them? I may make a bass just to use the Alembic pups is there anything else I need to know or take into consideration? Kind regards, FTI | ||

Ralph, welcome to the club. I can't address your questions but I did see this thread which talks about some AXYs for sale. http://alembic.com/club/messages/395/22254.html?1131847259 Rich | ||

AXY and HB refer to the pickup shapes. The AXY is the classic Alembic soapbar size, and is the same shape we use on Series I basses, Spoilers, and Stanley Clarke models. HB are direct replacements for Gibson humbuckers. The electronics suffix of AE-1 is only for 1-pickup models, like a P/AE-1. That will get you the split P pickup and 1 volume and 1 filter control. Most of the electronics we sell are the PVF (like AXY/PVF). These include a pan, volume and filter control. AE-3 is the suffix for the pan-volume-bass-treble arrangement of controls. You can use just about any pickups we make with either the PVF or AE-3 electronics (or even electronics from an offered model, like Signature). | ||
