Hi, Alan.  Welcome to the forum. The bass and I are in the East Bay side of the S.F. Bay Area, about one hour south of the Alembic factory.

I would like to thank my friend Bill for introducing a new member to  my  family . This beautiful Essence is currently enjoying a new home. I have already named her ; AURORA BOREALIS  ( northern lights).  She will be played often as her neck ,weight and ergonomic design are very pleasing to me. :)

Thanks Harry! I am thinking about letting the "Mother Ship" add a brass block under the bridge and some other ideas .

Nice scoop Wolf.
I'm sure you will enjoy playing that one.
The bridge block is a good idea.
Maybe Europa electronics upgrade?
What's your current Alembic count?

Play healthy good sir.

Thanks . Slawie . SO far ,  I think I will get that bridge block and that new pan pot circuit so that I can attenuate the gain separately on the two pickups. I think that I will enjoy boosting the gain up on the bridge pickup . I will be opened to the suggestions offered to me by Alembic of course . I really like the feeling of the neck on this bass .

Glad you are "grokking" the Essence, Wolf.  I'll be eagerly watching how you wind up modding it.  Enjoy!

Bill, tgo

Hi Bill . my thanks to you ! I will be doing little mods that I think might be swell and still keep her identity as an Essence .  I like that word
" grokking " !
