Well, Dave, maybe a thermometer option will show up in the next release of the quote generator :-)! |

Dave, did you speak with Val? Just because it's not in the quote generator doesn't mean you can't have it. |

Is it a do-it-yourself project or do you have to send the bass back to the shop? |

Why on earth would anyone need a "Mit Thermometer". If your hands are cold, the mits don't work. Just get a new pair. Bill, tgo |

At least it seems to be a legit auction... not a "Conqueror mit Thermometer", LOL ! And with less than USD 40, you may risk a bid on YOUR next Alembic, folks ! ...well, that thing is not too far away from my home, and it's "mit Thermometer". think, think, okay still one day left to get my wife's permission on investing 40 bucks.

I don't have a mit for my Alembic either; neither an aftermarket mit nor a genuine Alembic mitten custom made for my S1. |

Now, that's having me scratch my neck: what is a "mit" ? It's a german auction on ebay, and "mit" simply means "with", or "including", but there seems to be the same term in AE or BE with a different meaning which confuses me... some kind of hand warmers, maybe ? anyway, mit ist meistens gut !

Christian, a "Mitten" or "Mit" for short in AE is like a glove but there are no individual fingers, they are covered by solid piece of fabric. Ken |

Coincidences, coincidences ... A "mof" in Dutch is a fur sleeve that you can put your hands in from the sides to keep them warm (muffle?) - and also slang for a German. |

A mit ...we call it a "want" in flemish. Now let see "want" in english is omething completely different but...in German it IS (also) a "mit". Ahlalalaaa ...funny to be part of a multicultural and multilingual community! PTBO |

Do you suppose the spout is "set" or "neck thru?" |

is it e semi-hollow model ? where to find the s/n ? what string gauges fit best ? where to fix the interchangable fretboards ? questions, questions, and only twenty hours left to bring eyesight to the blind.... Christian (the faker, blind) |
