mumra, welcome to the club.
If I am right you are wanting to change the cavity cover to a Warwick bass battery compartment with easy open door.
No Alembics have this, they are all screws into inserts..the reason..the battery for the pre amp lasts ages under normal to average use.
You would have to do some modification if you still insisted on this type of battery cover.
I guess you don't want to do that to your bass

Thanks for the answer terryc. No I don't want to do modifications on my bass. I prefer the bronze.

mumra..I agree..let Warwick install their cheap plastic battery covers..at Alembic everything is properly engineered to last
