Well, the installation went fine, but when I went to put the knobs back on, the collets don't fit! The shaft on the new knobs is much bigger in diameter than the old module. I checked the volume and pan knobs, and they are the larger size like the new ae-3 module. So, looks like I need new knobs, right? mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 927 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Saturday, May 24, 2003 - 10:36 am:    You must have one of the earlier Epics with 1/8" shaft pots. We'll get a pair of the new 1/4" shaft knobs to you on Tuesday (we're closed on Monday). jaurigemma Junior Username: jaurigemma Post Number: 23 Registered: 3-2003 Posted on Saturday, May 24, 2003 - 5:52 pm:    Yep, I have one of the early Epic's!!! As soon as I saw the ad in Bass Player in 1994, I fell in love and had to order one! Thanks Mica, let me know how much $$$ I owe you. Also, how close are you guys to the Sacramento area? I might be out there later this year. valvil Moderator Username: valvil Post Number: 144 Registered: 7-2002 Posted on Sunday, May 25, 2003 - 2:19 am:    Alembic is pretty close to Sacramento; Santa Rosa is only about 70 miles away.

Pretty good trip this time. It didn't rain and the traffic wasn't completley stopped. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 930 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Wednesday, May 28, 2003 - 7:57 am:    Ack Jeff, I can't charge you the $20 for the knobs, you had to wait while we sorted out the multiple Jeff syndrome then you still couldn't use the tone module. Please consider the knobs as a gift and let me know when you receive them. jaurigemma Junior Username: jaurigemma Post Number: 24 Registered: 3-2003 Posted on Wednesday, May 28, 2003 - 8:28 pm:    Just another example of why I won't buy any other bass but an alembic! Mica, I am using the new module, just no knobs! You are truly the best at customer service! jaurigemma Junior Username: jaurigemma Post Number: 26 Registered: 3-2003 Posted on Friday, May 30, 2003 - 4:14 pm:    Mica, got the knobs today! Thanks!!!!
