Thanks, I love that Bass too. I won her in an eBay auction and drove 842 miles round trip to get her in person.

I think a modular brass control plate along w/ a modular brass pickup ring would be a great idea for Alembic dealers.... have a couple of "test bed" instruments in house at all times, w/ plates for all the pup configurations and electronic packages imaginable....

I love the background image - would love to see a block-print Alembic catalog! (I'm old-fashioned though)

Pace, I like that modular idea. One step further though, I think would be for alembic to make and sell an outboard stomp box/DI with alembic tone circuits. I think it would be great for someone who had a bass or guitar that they wonted to improve the tone of but didn't want to carve out the innards of a treasured instrument to add alembic pickups and electronics.


Something like a heavy duty Pro-co Rat shaped box would be great.
