Could be... Imagine a bass player playing on the stairs stumbeling over his cord... Ouch! But then again, who would play a plugged in bass on the stairs? If th electronics are fine, this could be a nice deal. It's still an Alembic (Message edited by fc_spoiler on September 20, 2006) |

The four knobs are strange indeed, but the Q switch could be replaced by a 2 way rotating switch I guess? If it's the same guy that has left his wife or got kicked out, then I think it's really scary... since he lives in the USA now, could she be that bad? -LOL- |

"Maybe this was owned by that JayDee ebay ex-wife lady?" Lol, I was thinking the same thing. Maybe she decided to chop down a tree or take a swing at ol' Jaydee with that one. - Jim |

The knobs don't look stock; I would think that's a good indication the electronics aren't Alembic. Any interested buyers should ask for a picture of the control cavity. |
