Could you advise what list price is to: a. add filter plus q switch to an Epic/Orion; and b. add bass & treble controls to an Essence? (to create the East/West combo) Thanks David B. kmh364 Intermediate Member Username: kmh364 Post Number: 170 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Saturday, July 03, 2004 - 3:24 pm:    David, While I can't answer for Alembic, the upgrade cost to go from std. Orion to EMW electronics was $650 USD MSRP on my {Ke(vi)n's Custom} Orion during construction.

What we're referring to as EMW electronics also has the new sidemounted jack. You're looking at $650 to East-meets-Westifty either an Essence or Epic/Orion on a new build. dnburgess Advanced Member Username: dnburgess Post Number: 298 Registered: 1-2003 Posted on Saturday, July 03, 2004 - 9:52 pm:    Thanks for that - something to think about for my next demo instrument. Happy 4th of July.
