Title: 3-way Q for Series 1
Post by: rv_bass on April 06, 2016, 05:54:38 AM

Hi,
 
I have a faulty 3-way Q switch in my Series 1 bass, which I wanted to replace, so I purchased a switch from Alembic on line. I installed a Q-switch in my Orion, so I thought it would be a similar installation.  Looking in the Series 1 electronics cavity, I get the impression that this switch won't work with the Series 1.  Is that correct?
 
Thanks,
 
Rob

No - it won't. The 3-way Q-switch on the webstore is for the Activator family of electronics. We'll send you out the right switch and you can send back the one you have in hand now.

Mica,
 
No need to send the other switch, I plan to send the bass in to you for some work, so it can be addressed then.
 
Thanks!

OK, well send that switch back with the bass so we can credit you on the bill.

Dealing with Alembic sure can spoil someone when it comes to dealing with other companies.

So true, Bill, they are above and beyond in many ways!
