What are the cut out sizes required for the various Alembic pickups? I have been putting my dream together, but my girlfriend and I got engaged this weekend and I will be focusing on a wedding and putting my Alembic dream on hold for a little while. But I was lucky in a way and my cat knocked a cup of coffee into my current Spector pickups. So I will try to get some Alembic electronics for the time being. I have a Spector NS-4 with a pair EMG-35DC. Does any one have experience putting Alembic electronics on a non-Alembic bass? stoney Intermediate Member Username: stoney Post Number: 151 Registered: 7-2002 Posted on Sunday, April 20, 2003 - 8:04 am:    Hey Dreamer, Congratulations. I had a Spector (I forget the model) but it had a P/J configuration. I ordered "stock" activators from Alembic and they fit just fine. Now, If you have soapbar type pickups, MAYBE the AXY's will fit. They're a little less than 4.5 " wide and a little less than 1.75" "high" Hope this helps. When you get your Alembic, dump the cat !!

I just measured my EMGs it looks like they are 3.5" by 1.0" I guess there maybe some labor involved. Hopefully someone out there can provide some more info. Maybe Mica can give a little insight if they could do the work at the shop. stoney Intermediate Member Username: stoney Post Number: 152 Registered: 7-2002 Posted on Monday, April 21, 2003 - 5:21 am:    No Problem, good luck. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 845 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Monday, April 21, 2003 - 5:27 pm:    Here's the sizes for Alembic pickups: model length width AXY4 4.110 1.750 AXY56 5.000 1.750 MXY4 4.110 1.220 MXY56 5.000 1.220 We can certainly do modifications on existing basses. Each job is quoted individually and is subject to change upon first hand inspection. We always review pricing with you before starting any work. You may also find a local repairperson to do the routing of the electronics cavities. Always make sure the electronics cavity is shielded properly, including the underside of the plate if it isn't conductive (like brass).
