Thanks Mica! Sorry to be so late saying that...I did get the message and I really appreciate your taking the time to do the research. I LOVE this Bass! Plays like butter from day one, and I've never had to reset anything. I did replace the shaky volume pot...but that was more for my own peace of mind rather than any functional concerns... Alembic has a friend for life in me! Love you guys!... |
