Have a safe & enjoyable trip to my home state of PA, Mike. I'd like to know more about the innards of this '75 Alembic you're pursuing. When you explained the Series 1 you're selling to me, I was amazed at how lucidly you detailed everything from the woods used down to the pickups. Amazing! artswork99 Moderator Username: artswork99 Post Number: 1295 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Saturday, October 02, 2010 - 5:50 pm:    Edward, I too am originally from the state of PA and will be in Grantville (not to far from you) this month for several nights on a gig. I'd enjoy meeting you and your bass if you're available ;) Art (Message edited by artswork99 on October 02, 2010) uberbass New Username: uberbass Post Number: 3 Registered: 9-2010 Posted on Saturday, October 02, 2010 - 6:46 pm:    Are you playing the casinos by any chance? :0) That's a good paying gig. artswork99 Moderator Username: artswork99 Post Number: 1296 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Saturday, October 02, 2010 - 6:54 pm:    Winner's Circle Saloon :-) uberbass New Username: uberbass Post Number: 4 Registered: 9-2010 Posted on Saturday, October 02, 2010 - 7:04 pm:    Ahhh, nice room, yes!

Enjoy and Play it Healthy! pace Senior Member Username: pace Post Number: 629 Registered: 4-2004 Posted on Tuesday, October 05, 2010 - 4:51 pm:    Words can't describe my relief, knowing that 534 is in good hands and a loving home... Not to mention, UBER-EDDIE paired her up with a Phil Jones rig which can probably be heard and felt across the river at the capitol!!!! Ditto's Art.... play her in good health!!! -Mike uberbass New Username: uberbass Post Number: 6 Registered: 9-2010 Posted on Wednesday, October 06, 2010 - 2:44 am:    Thanks Mike! It was a real pleasure doing business with you. I now have some cool pics & recordings of that day. Art, you're more than welcome to stop by to see this bass when you hit my neck of the woods soon. By the time you get here, I'll already have received my rare Sadowsky SA200, so we can A/B this and that in search of that elusive ultimate Alembic tone. The reputation of that SA200 has me up all night tonight! http://bowlusblog.blogspot.com/2005/10/sadowsky-sa200-all-tube-head.html Without question, the marriage between my newly acquired BUTTERSCOTCH 76-534 and PJB SIX-PAK > 6T+9B cabs (3.4 ohms) stands heads & shoulders above anything I've ever experienced. I was so thrilled, that I was prompted to call Phil Jones yesterday morning informing him of this inspirational bass candy combination. I explained that when Mike Pace was here, we had encountered troubles with my one SIX-PAK amp. {I happen to own two of them, as they do a great job doubling as stereo amplification for my Korg OASYS 88 workstation.} Phil kindly educated me on how to quick-fix the intermittent cutting out; saving me hundreds. Phil Jones truly rocks!! The quality build of his amps and cabs rule from the highest mountain down to the alloys of the screws! Mike, thanks SO MUCH for taking the time and trouble to personally deliver BUTTERSCOTCH 76-534! She truly exceeds all expectations, and so I feel quite fortunate to have been the person to take ownership of her. Here's a brief sample of what she sounds like recorded just after Mike took off for Philly: http://www.reverbnation.com/tunepak/2952151 jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 2174 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Wednesday, October 06, 2010 - 9:04 am:    Hey, I'm interested about your pjb amp problem as my PJB briefcase keeps cutting out. When I rang the UK distributor I was told it is a problem with the mains voltage dropping too low which was results in the amp initiating the low voltage protection circuit hence the cut out. Do you have any additional advice that may be of help to me. Jazzyvee uberbass New Username: uberbass Post Number: 7 Registered: 9-2010 Posted on Wednesday, October 06, 2010 - 7:55 pm:    Call Phil Jones directly and ask him. His number is readily Googable. I'd rather not proxy-address such a problem as I'm not qualified to intervene nor do I represent PJB the company.
