thanks, i did see a few but the bids went through the roof. i just don't want to sub anything else in the guitar. i use it for gigs and recording. i'm able to play with 2 p/u's for the time being but i need the 3 obviously. i was thinking of putting in another active pickup that would interact with the Alembic filter but i'm more intent on scoring a replacement. i shot an email to Alembic to inquire if they sell singles and what they cost, etc.
Thanks again!
