You should get a filter & Q switch too... they're an essential part of the Alembic sound. Get the "East Meets West" electronics... which offers BOTH the Epic controls AND the standard Alembic filter & Q setup. I also love the Scorpian body style... it was my favorite until I saw the Europa (which was my favorite until they came up with the Balance K!) Good luck with it! estring Junior Username: estring Post Number: 12 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Friday, April 20, 2007 - 12:44 pm:    I think with the Epic electronics that as well captures the Alembic sound,even with filters,they have a beautiful fundimental tone underneath the whole time (to Me).Also,depending on where your plucking hand is you can change the tone as well,its not as obvious change,but there is a deffinite difference.(thanks for the suggestion though). -Chris
