Nicest SC I think I've ever seen. Love the dark to light transition on the top wood.

I'm taking a keener interest in SCs now that I've recently acquired one. Gorgeous basses all around, but that rosewood top and back is absolutely stunning. I notice the pickup spacing on yours is slightly different to mine - the neck pickup is slightly nearer the fretboard on yours. Looks like at some point betwen 89 and 93, Alembic decided to move the neck pickup back a bit on SCs. I wonder why. Or is every SC unique when it comes to pickup placement? Anybody know? davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 3910 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Tuesday, May 30, 2006 - 12:36 pm:    Karl; I think the neck pickup was moved back because a lot of players who used slap techniques at the fretboard found the pickup to be in the way. But of course on a custom order you can have it put where you want it. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 3911 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Tuesday, May 30, 2006 - 12:41 pm:    Karl; I think the neck pickup was moved back because a lot of players who used slap techniques at the fretboard found the pickup to be in the way.
