Before I read what the guy had done i just thought this bass doesn't sound like an alembic at all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e19ccnpF7A4&feature=plcp Jazzyvee terryc Senior Member Username: terryc Post Number: 1987 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Sunday, September 23, 2012 - 4:36 am:    Just goes to show you cannot please everyone! funkyjazzjunky Senior Member Username: funkyjazzjunky Post Number: 830 Registered: 5-2007 Posted on Tuesday, September 25, 2012 - 7:47 am:    Hopefully, he kept the original P/U & electronics jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 3162 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Tuesday, September 25, 2012 - 10:14 am:    Nope I did ask him that very question with a view to buying them off him but alas he does not have them.
