well, Im just shooting for simplicity, but effective, at least for me, with regards to electronics. I preferred top mounted jack cause it will be easier to mount on floor stand.

yea, my latest bass that i bought(Vantage VP820B) has a front mount jack and i love it(the front mount and the controls/sounds, AWESOME)

Not just a bass, this is an Alembic!

Hey Robert,  
 
I want to change the pickups a little bit. Do you mind if the neck pickup is the regular 6-string size MXY pickup and the angled bridge pickup is the 7-string size MXY? The 6-string size will cover the string spacing fine since you have a narrow neck width.  
 
If we use the 7-string size in the neck position it will interfere with the normal battery compartment placement. Because of the size of the body and the electronics (maybe with a new change you emailed me about) I can't move the battery easily.  
 
Let me know if this is OK with you and I'll check more on the electronics mod you requested.

Hi Mica,
how's the bridge pick up plan that you suggested gonna be?
thanks

roberto

please move the neck pick up 5mm towards the bridge. and place the coil as far as possible towards the bridge.
thank you
