Wanted: Alembic electronics
« on: December 05, 2004, 06:09:58 AM »
If anyone is upgrading their electronics, or if there are cosmetic blems available at the Alembic shop, then I would like get in on the action.  I have a Spector NS-4 with EMG-HZ35DC.  They are about 1.5x3.5.  So I think I would have to get the Fat Boy size housings.  I have an Alembic dealer/ luthier line up for the extra routing.  It is not likely that I will be able to afford a new activator set this month, and with price increases coming in January an activator set will probably not get onto my purchasing radar screen in the foreseeable future.  So I am looking into any ther options available.
There are only 3 control knobs on my bass, so I don't need anything too fancy.
 
Thanks.

Thanks, but I think I will have to stick with something simpler.  My bass has the curved body and I don't think it would hold all of those electronics.  Besides I could almost get a new activator set by the time I paid davehouk the $600 that he is hoping to get for his Series I set.  I would probably have to get Essence or Europa electronics at the most.  I have a fairly large control cavity and another compartment with 2 9v batteries.

Mica has stated on this site in the past that from time to time blem Alembic activators are available at a reduced cost for those that are interested. Drop her a private email and see what she has. As far as the electronics you need to go along with them, unless you can get something used, you're at Alembics mercy RE: pricing. As you are undoubtably aware, not many things with the Alembic name on them are cheap, LOL! Good luck. Let us know how you make out.
