I order a new AE-3 module for my Epic 4-string because I wanted center detents on the bass and treble controls. Well, the installation went fine, but when I went to put the knobs back on, the collets don't fit! The shaft on the new knobs is much bigger in diameter than the old module. I checked the volume and pan knobs, and they are the larger size like the new ae-3 module. So, looks like I need new knobs, right?

You must have one of the earlier Epics with 1/8 shaft pots. We'll get a pair of the new 1/4 shaft knobs to you on Tuesday (we're closed on Monday).

Yep, I have one of the early Epic's!!! As soon as I saw the ad in Bass Player in 1994, I fell in love and had to order one! Thanks Mica, let me know how much $$$ I owe you.

Also, how close are you guys to the Sacramento area? I might be out there later this year.

Alembic is pretty close to Sacramento; Santa Rosa is only about 70 miles away.

It only took me an hour to get there from Vacaville the other day. Pretty good trip this time. It didn't rain and the traffic wasn't completley stopped.

Ack Jeff, I can't charge you the $20 for the knobs, you had to wait while we sorted out the multiple Jeff syndrome then you still couldn't use the tone module. Please consider the knobs as a gift and let me know when you receive them.

Just another example of why I won't buy any other bass but an alembic! Mica, I am using the new module, just no knobs! You are truly the best at customer service!
