Hi all, I am just in the process of acquiring Alembic Club-ite fernandobicho's beautiful walnut-topped Elan 5 (check out pics in my Swap Shop: Items Wanted ad for a black Elan/Europa 5 - I know its not black!). It has a personalised black after-market TRC (with a large letter 'N' inset) and I would like to put it back to an original Alembic brass TRC. Could one of you good folks tell me how I get hold of one please? (Message edited by clarkybass on September 05, 2010) | ||

You can order one with Mica at Alembic's site... | ||

Mark, you'll have to contact Mica; The truss rod covers are usually engraved with the serial number of the guitar, and Alembic is understandably quite particular about issuing new ones. I'm sure she has a process for this, so I'd contact her Tuesday after the Labor Day holiday here in the States. J o e y | ||

Thanks folks! The bass is documented on Alembic Club (davehouck found a couple of threads about it including Serial number) so hopefully authenticity is not an issue and Mica will be cool with this. | ||

You'll have to send the old cover in to Alembic so they can line the screw holes up perfectly (that was what I was told when I enquired about replacing my epic cover with brass). Graeme | ||
