Thought to keep them as spares for my 74 Alembic. Would sell the pair for $375 shipped. Will post pictures tonight - best regards, Todd toddharris Advanced Member Username: toddharris Post Number: 323 Registered: 7-2008 Posted on Thursday, April 28, 2011 - 5:20 pm:    Here are the pix - had them in storage and forgot to mention that the humbucker is here too - based on the size, I'm guessing this would have been on one of the basses with the battery in the front between the pickups. The humbucker is marked in marker on tape - trap hum 1000/#40. The pickups are marked trap treble 100/#40, trap bass 100/#40 Wondering if 40 may tie indicate the bass it came out ofs serial number - any thoughts? Not sure what the 1000 refers to. edwin Senior Member Username: edwin Post Number: 903 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Thursday, April 28, 2011 - 7:03 pm:    Are these for a Series bass? Would they fit well in a Starfire? If so, consider them sold!

Go ahead the Starfire project ! The PF-6 board needs soldering one lead and change these connectors. But Mica will suggest the way. afrobeat_fool Advanced Member Username: afrobeat_fool Post Number: 302 Registered: 7-2009 Posted on Thursday, April 28, 2011 - 10:05 pm:    I thought this might happen. Congrats Edwin. I can't wait to hear the Starfire!

I am really looking forward to see what progresses on your project. Congratulations. edwin Senior Member Username: edwin Post Number: 908 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Friday, April 29, 2011 - 3:22 pm:    OK, electronics showed up today and pickups on the way! Very exciting. My starfire has always sounded good, but lacked the clarity that Alembic electronics and pickups can provide. I'd love to be able to convert the electronics to Series II operation (which is what I meant to type in the above message), but what is most welcome is the ability to preamp each pickup separately and get a stereo out. toddharris Advanced Member Username: toddharris Post Number: 325 Registered: 7-2008 Posted on Friday, April 29, 2011 - 5:45 pm:    Pickups sold today - thanks for looking - please check out my early series one short scale - now identified as 74-86.
