Anyone see if any bids were made? Just wondering (looking for an excel; wondering what the market is like). Thanks, Jack davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 2537 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Tuesday, November 08, 2005 - 7:28 am:    No bids were made on that listing. jack New Username: jack Post Number: 10 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Tuesday, November 08, 2005 - 9:11 am:    Far out, thanks for the quick response. -Jack jack Junior Username: jack Post Number: 11 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Tuesday, November 08, 2005 - 3:41 pm:    That Excel on ebey had just the one fat boy, right in the middle, if I remember correctly. I wonder if it'd be possible (surely) to have another installed at the bridge; or move that Fat Boy and have a regular Alembic MXY for the neck pick up. I wonder how much that would cost? I think I'd like that set up as shown under products on the main site. I guess I'd have to hear a couple different options. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 2543 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Tuesday, November 08, 2005 - 4:23 pm:    My guess is that financially you would be better off waiting around for one with two pickups to show up. That said, my guess, and it's only a guess, is that Alembic can route for another pickup without incurring a refinish, and that the routing is probably not too expensive. However, you would be adding not only another pickup but also a pan control. So the electronics mods are probably going to start adding up. But I'm just guessing. jack Junior Username: jack Post Number: 12 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Wednesday, November 09, 2005 - 6:46 am:    Thanks again Dave. -Jack
