Title: Nice cocobolo distillate
Post by: bsee on February 01, 2008, 02:03:25 PM

On talkbass for a reasonable $1800-ish.  Has some nicks on it, but really looks like a great player.

Yes, a very reasonable price for a very nice Distillate.

What are the electronics in a Distillate??

Distillate electronics are volume, filter + Q switch, treble and bass toggles for boost/neutral/cut, and pickup selector.
 
Pretty much the same as Europa/Rogue, but with a pickup selector instead of a blend pot.

Great!!--even better than a Spoiler, and I love Spoilers
Are the pickups AXY??

True, Spoiler is Distillate without the treble and bass toggles. The pickups should be AXYs (same as the MXY, just a larger shell).
 
This one has the longer upper horn, so balance should not be an issue.
