about the pickup position, when slapping did you find it hard to pop up, as the neck pickup is positioned right where you\d normally have your first finger? did you just adjust your hand position and play infront or in between the pick ups?

Wow! fantastic bass Ben. You'll need to update your personal quote now. Can I suggest 'i want another Alembic' ;-)

There's a red 5 string elan somewhere in NZ...has there been any Alembic get together planned?

congrats Ben, I understand your reasoning as long as your a safe safe driver...of course your girl sounds like a smart one...best wishes

I'm pretty sure there is an Alembic owner who has stopped by the club who lives down in Napier and another down around Nelson. My Alembic left Hamilton when I moved back to the US.

There used to be an Alembic dealer in Auckland, so I'm sure there are a few Alembics bumping around the country. I saw 2 or 3 of them traded on TradeMe during the 4 year period I lived there.
