I own two Alembics: a Series 1 (serial number 90 6163) and a Spoiler (89S5326) The Series 1 wood is flamed walnut and the Spoiler is quilted maple. Both the basses have red LEDs. The Series 1 LEDs are installed by www.simscustom.com and the ones on the Spoiler are from www.fretfx.com The Series 1 is signed by Mark King in 2002. Well, that's about it. Drop me a line sometime. More pictures on request. All the best, John playbootsy New Username: playbootsy Post Number: 10 Registered: 1-2006 Posted on Monday, January 30, 2006 - 10:11 am:    Congratulations!!!!

Is your spoiler a special with a hum-cancelling PU in the middle? I would like to know!

(at least, I fooled you... HAHAHA) This action was from the wannabe-days (I always wanted a true Series 1 or 2). Now I got the Real Thing, too!

Of course, if you are daring, Alembic can make a real pick up for you to put there, and then you would have 3 active tone sources! Wow! I have a similar set up on my Modulus Graphite Quantum TBX 5 string. It came with Bartolini's originally, but I Activated it with Alembic. The 3 pick ups have on-off switches, and a master vol and one filter w/ 2 pos Q switch. The sonic possibilities are almost endless. Of course, your Series Bass is just a grab away for more sound control, right?
