hey hal, not trying to be negative here man but have you talked to anyone at Alembic about whether or not they would use your pick up design? just curious. I'm interested to see how it would work out, because I would assume any final design would pretty much come down to them, especially with an issue that isn't cosmetic. seems like a cool idea, though. |

Austin, I don't understand your question.
My floating pickup system is designed for my basses only...(The Jester, and the Toma_Hawk Cyclops).
I have no other interests period, nor am I interested in taking on any other desires.
This is about my dream basses, nothing else.
Peace and Love,
Hal-

Let me break it down...
If making this bass was as simple as discussing the measurements; the wood configurations; the choice of wood types, and assembling the components and slapping pickups on it without my floating pickup system, my bass would had been submitted to Mica by now.
With all of the above being equal, I want Alemebic or a choice of other Luthiers, not to be bogged down on my floating pickup design, I want them to only focus on the space required (nothing more is needed).
So, by the time my plans for the Jester bass enters any Luthier's facility, they should focus only on the items required for their service of what I am paying.
With all the correct measurements, when my bass is done, I should be able to pop in my modular floating pickup system in to the required cavity, and it should be able to move and groove just like that.
I hope this make better sense. I hate confusion, but someone said:
"If you are not confused, you are not thinking hard enough..."
Peace and love,
Hal-

so you basically just want a body? why not order a Warmoth body off their website and just get them to route a pickup cavity to the measurements you send them

Thanks for the tip Tayor, but NO Thanks.
By the way, this bass will be a "neck-thru" bass and presented to Alembic. What else would you expect from a guy like me, something less? (Just kidding...)
But I'll say this without kidding:
Since the development of my Toma_Hawk, and purposes therein, I had never experienced the flood of support globally.
Peace and Love,

For strings tension control, The Jester should have a Bigsby or something similar.
Crown tuned up like Jimi's custom, for just pure attitude.

A Styrofoam who wanted to be the Jester 
Simply better than 3D modeling alone, these Styrofoam models are great because they're strong, and yet malleable than wood to finely shape and smooth out.
As all models posted, my floating pickup(s) will be a module device, which fastens from behind the bass and sealed.
Peace and Love,

Wolf, I could see this working with for aesthetic balance with the bridge and saddle below...
However, the Jester will be using a Bigsby, thus this would clash considerably.

I just sing this song when things appears to be not going my way...
But you know, things are not always what they "appears to be..."
I like where Miles stands on the sideline while rapping to the other cats on stage. Man, he was poised with coolness. So calm, and on top of his game even losing, he was still cool -- if not cool'er.

ha! a battle of tunes could go on forever, but alas- most of my favorites aren't on YouTube. there's a Coltrane trio recording of "I Hear a Rhapsody" that just kills, but I can't find it. great stuff, though. oh, and bird and diz playing Hot House at massey hall might be my favorite recording of that. imho, max roach was the greatest bebop soloist around. |

As far as Miles goes and speaking from the perspective from being a Trumpet player my self as well I prefer his playing on the first " So What"as posted by Hal (post #263). The second "So What" as posted by darkstar01 (Austin )had Ron Carter really driving this up tempo version hard while remaining articulate as is his reputation to do such. Miles however did not sound to me like he was having one of his best days. His articulation is no where near the first example posted in my opinion. I also prefer his tone in the prior one. Both bands have strong points . We all have our opinions and our own criteria . As a whole I like the first one . |

personally, I like miles' playing more when he's less articulate. at much as he would deny it, he was definitely starting to be influenced by guys like ornette and don cherry(my favorite trumpet player) - especially with shorter and Tony Williams around. but to me, that band isn't about miles, it's about the rhythm section. and Wayne wrote most of the tunes (not So What obviously). but yeah, to each their own. I just like to hear miles stretch out more. kind of like how Coltrane is God as far as I'm concerned, but his stuff before the quartet doesn't do nearly as much for me. |

I am certainly in agreement that the rhythm section in the band with Ron Carter on Bass really cooks ! And Wayne is scrambling the eggs into a tasty treat, I really like Wayne In his 1965 Blue note release 'The all seeing eye"

I had the amazing privilege of studying with Reggie Workman for a couple of years, and listening to him talk about playing with 'Trane(he was actually the first choice of bass player in the classic quartet, but he moved back to Philly to take carer of his ailing father so Jimmy Garrison took over) and Wayne Shorter was unbelievable. it was the kind of thing that was like I would bring up a recording of waynes or something and Reggie would say "oh yeah I remember that... I think I probably still have those charts somewhere." he wouldn't talk about Coltrane, though.
as far as the all seeing eye goes, it's a great record, and I also studied with Joe chambers for a semester. let's just say that wasnt quite as pleasant. |

After thinking about the Jester bass for 9 months, I had come to the conclusion that this project will not be an Alembic project after all.
To farther my knowledge, I had decided, I wanted to be more involved with the day to day decisions on this bass -- and wanted to become personally involved with every aspect of the engineering and testing (from the rooter to the tooter).
This is my last post on this bass. All inquiries will be responded via private email(s).

First of all, I was never warned of anything the moderator said... if wrong please point this to me...
With that being said, I own 2 Alembics and had one custom made. So, for the moderator to delete a picture without any underline messages to what course I was going to take with my bass, was very presumptuous, and wrong. What made you flinch, to immediately react on a simple design which was shaping in many different directions, that was wrong to read what you wanted, and remove my ideas from the scope of an assigned thread?
I am sick and tired of being watched as if I am in a store to steal something, when I paid cash (not credit) for the things I want. In fact, I am doing the very opposite of this, because I give more of ideas when others, may profit from them. Alembic don't offer me everything, no company does.
It's sad, some humans ideas would be un-righteously censored, when this is suppose to be a dream section.
Why suppress concepts, then there are many ideas here, where Alembic players speak of solutions from manufactures working well with Alembic equipment. I seen Alembic pickups on Fender basses, and I seen non-Alembic electronics on Alembic basses. Why not delete those individuals who posted their configurations?
Why target only me?
Just the other day, I read about people buying different color strings, (not Alembic) and I seen pictures of non-Alembic pickups on Alembics basses, and even Stanley Clarke's basses had been made available for sale here.
Why target me?
Yet, when I post something, I get hassled like being profiled by a jealous cop, who pulls me over because I am and beautiful in every-way...
regardless of the unfairness, bigotry that exist.
Now multiply your actions 10 million times!
It's people like you, keeps me in reality seat. Thank you for waking me up.

Thanks for teaching someone who actually have experience in owning an Alembic custom bass. It was one the most exciting things I ever done "THIS YEAR"... You should give a try some time.

Hal; an email was sent to you on this subject dated October 18. The reasons for the policy were clearly and reasonably set out in the email. The email also clearly stated that any pictures that continued outside the policy would be deleted.
This morning you chose to post a picture. Two different moderators spotted the picture. The two moderators spent the next fifty minutes discussing the matter. It took fifty minutes because we wanted to be fair to you and to everyone else. We took into account the Fenders with Alembic pickups example (which is not the same thing) as well as other examples that might be similar. We really did want to be fair and to proceed prudently. From our perspective, the picture was clearly unwarranted; and after fifty minutes of discussion, it was removed.
If you want to discuss this further, please feel free to email me. |

Hal; I just wanted to add that personally I do feel empathy for you, I do understand that you feel you are being singled out, and I really do wish that it were otherwise. It is as frustrating for me as it is for you, because I really do want everyone to be happy here. Everyone.
The October 18 email was pretty clear on why this picture was inappropriate; but even without the email, it should be apparent to you why Alembic might not want you posting these pictures on their site. Because of this, the moderators felt that you were quite possibly deliberately pushing the boundaries. One would hope that such was not the case; but again, it should be apparent to you why these pictures shouldn't be posted on Alembic's site. Personally, I hope that, rather than deliberately pushing boundaries, that perhaps in your zeal for this project maybe you didn't quite think this through.
Please read the email again. I think it clearly explains why Alembic does not want such pictures on their site.
Again; please email me if you want to discuss this further. |

My concept was heading back toward an Alembic solution, for I was leaving the adjustable solution, heading back to a fix pickup. I was considering Alembic electronics.
You guys shot my concept down before I was ready to speak to Mica or Susan on my options.
My goodness, that's wrong!
Alemebic does not make endorsements with musical artist is fair, but if I feel the same way, I get deleted. You can't have it both ways. I supported Alembic, and before I seek aid from the leaders, I get deleted by a moderator on a concept?
That's good for business?
I leave you in Peace, with Love,

Well maybe you should have went ahead and called instead of contiuously posting pictures without letting anyone know ahead of time of what your intensions were

My father taught me: "there are no excuses for failure"
(think on this...)
I wish you success, with music and your pursuits before you. May you someday make your dream bass, Alembic or a combination, and may you accept no excuses, on tasks designed for you to solve in life.
I am no longer an Alembic purest anymore. I can't. There are other sounds, I want now.
Peace and Love always,
Hal-

Peace to you my brother, for we all have limits and limitations, and fortunately for me, grammar is something that, could be improved unlimited-ly.
Peace and Love,

hal. this section of the forum specifically has the following subtext...
"to get input when dreaming of your next Alembic creation".
on Sept 7th, you clearly posted this...
"After thinking about the Jester bass for 9 months, I had come to the conclusion that this project will not be an Alembic project after all. "
You said nothing after that to suggest that you were reconsidering an Alembic build so it's only right that the mods removed your post. i don't believe they're treating you any less fairly than they do the rest of us.
re the coloured strings, we're all talking about putting them on Alembic instruments. (and the thread is in the miscellaneous section anyway).

You don't have all the facts, nor is this issue open.
Lastly, I am sure your loyalty, is a great feeling from where you stand.
Peace and Love,

Guess even the truth can be ignored by some regardless of how obvious it is.....

As for the strings, I wouldn't (shouldn't) care if someone said: "Hey, I tried using these pickups with Series electronics, and they're great!"
With my current sentiments on the the situation, I wouldn't (shouldn't) read this as an alarming situation especially, when people have rights to use whatever fits them, and express their views as this forum was designed. I always held high regards for Alembic, but their moderators focus too much on content and less on context.
I have an open mind when it comes to different things. Life's engine is about change, and adapting to them positively is an art in its self, and it requires patience, and understanding.
However, if I were to make such statements, on using another brand of pickups on my Alembic, I would bet a million dollars, it would be a discussion of ridicule, heckled to the point all substance would had been lost.
My outlook on life, is always positive.
The Jester is still on the draft table, and I will say no more than this... But regardless how terrible someone thinks a design is, I believe Alembic should never delete a concept whether it's preconceived to be an Alembic, or something else with exception to something being out-right offensive.
It's amazing how fast people get bent-up over a simple concept.
A bass with funny looking pickups, was offensive?
I am out.
Peace and Love,

Hal, the moderators are doing their JOB, as me and Graeme both said, this is the ALEMBIC CLUB and that's what this section is meant for
"But regardless how terrible someone thinks a design is, I believe Alembic should never delete a concept....." are you suggesting that moderators just deleted the pictures because they thought it was dumb? because that is seriously incorrect
and no one said the bass was "offensive", where did that idea even come from?
it's a non-Alembic build under the dreaming section meant for Alembics, if you wanted to keep posting about this you should have at least moved it to the Miscellaneous section

Hal,
what's hapended in your life between January 30, 2010 - 1:10 pm: AND Friday, August 20, 2010 - 3:03 pm ?
7 month without post.... It's a great mystery for me regarding your usual hyperactivity in your project.
Not a judgment (??), just a question.
If I'm out of the issue (?) of this thread, please moderator delete this post. |

I looked in the closet one day, and found out I didn't have a BADDDASSS fretless bass to slam some JAZZ recordings. (Everything else is immaterial, and don't mean a damn thing...)
That's what happened...LOL!
Peace and Love,
