I have a Spector NS-4 with EMG-HZ35DC. They are about 1.5"x3.5". So I think I would have to get the Fat Boy size housings. I have an Alembic dealer/ luthier line up for the extra routing. It is not likely that I will be able to afford a new activator set this month, and with price increases coming in January an activator set will probably not get onto my purchasing radar screen in the foreseeable future. So I am looking into any ther options available. There are only 3 control knobs on my bass, so I don't need anything too fancy. Thanks. keavin Senior Member Username: keavin Post Number: 529 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Monday, December 06, 2004 - 4:57 am:    theres a set of series I electronics right here on this site (if davehouk didnt sell yet),and a jazzbass set(alembic)on ebay. dreamer Junior Username: dreamer Post Number: 30 Registered: 1-2003 Posted on Tuesday, December 07, 2004 - 1:27 am:    Thanks, but I think I will have to stick with something simpler. My bass has the curved body and I don't think it would hold all of those electronics. Besides I could almost get a new activator set by the time I paid davehouk the $600 that he is hoping to get for his Series I set. I would probably have to get Essence or Europa electronics at the most. I have a fairly large control cavity and another compartment with 2 9v batteries. kmh364 Senior Member Username: kmh364 Post Number: 710 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Tuesday, December 07, 2004 - 10:33 am:    Mica has stated on this site in the past that from time to time "blem" Alembic activators are available at a reduced cost for those that are interested. Drop her a private email and see what she has. As far as the electronics you need to go along with them, unless you can get something used, you're at Alembics mercy RE: pricing. As you are undoubtably aware, not many things with the Alembic name on them are cheap, LOL! Good luck. Let us know how you make out. fretted4 Member Username: fretted4 Post Number: 58 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Monday, December 13, 2004 - 6:10 pm:    Are the series electronics still available? thanks davehouck Senior Member Username: davehouck Post Number: 1096 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Tuesday, December 14, 2004 - 5:08 am:    No, the Series electronics were sold.
