This was a custom order and the original owner was in North Carolina.  
 
If you find you have any RF interference, you can send the electronics in for a relatively inexpensive upgrade.

Thanks Mica!  
Sorry to be so late saying that...I did get the message and I really appreciate your taking the time to do the research. I LOVE this Bass! Plays like butter from day one, and I've never had to reset anything. I did replace the shaky volume pot...but that was more for my own peace of mind rather than any functional concerns...
Alembic has a friend for life in me!
Love you guys!...
