After we spoke last night, Jeff, I came up with this slightly different version:  Everything has a good healthy amount of room around it for fiddling, I don't think you'll hit one control on the way to another. With the pickup selector between the Q switches, it makes another logical divsion of the controls and the spacing on the inner arc of controls is even. I hope you like it! | ||

looks great and i have one more idea that should make sense put the bass control below the pickup selector so it will be from right to left mv,nv,nf bcb, bv, bf then the qs are by their respective controls and i cant see them interfering and in fact would let me make changes faster so i am good with this one | ||

"It's easier to wait for an Alembic when you already have one..." I'll second that, Flax!!!! I don't think I could survive the torture without the Little Bear. | ||

Agreed. Buying an Epic has increased my patience. I'm thinking seriously about starting to play the double bass. That might help, too. Bradley | ||

well if things go as planned scooter may be heading to ct end of week brad if you are thinking bout double bass take a good look at the ns design www.nedsteinberger.com i have the 5 string cr-5m and they pop up on ebay | ||

Jeff, Good news on Scooter! If I'm going to do the DB thing, I think I'm going to go all the way-- rather do that, and then switch to something like the Steinberger than try the other way. Besides, the acoustic thing is appealing. You'll have received two basses for my not-yet one. I'm going DB shopping, that's it. Bradley | ||

Can't go wrong With DB. Strengthens fingers, adds a mare to the stable, makes you use your ears too..There is another thread going on just that right now. You are patient no doubt. Flax...very cool!!!! | ||

It's a stunning beauty, Flax, and adding a bass control to the modified Signature electronics is a winning electronics package for sure! And yeah, it sure is less stressful waiting for a custom Alembic when you've already got one. 'Course I just ordered mine, but I'm mentally just kicked back and waiting for when my time comes! | ||

thanks charlie just hoping it sounds as good as it looks even though its an alembic, am antsy to hear it of course. i am always twiddling with the bass so it made sense(thank you mica)to add it on the bass the minor trade off was no stereo jack and that was no big deal in my eyes | ||

Not quite as good as the Chewbacca defense, but possession is 9/10ths. Just ask Bill, TGO. Bradley PS- I know that jokes don't work if you have to explain them, but the word play around possession was too good to miss. |
