2005 Series II Short scale on Reverb
« on: October 11, 2019, 05:03:12 PM »
I just noticed this recently, although it's been listed on Reverb for almost a year... I couldn't find any mention of it here, so...

 Never had the chance to play a Vermillion core; but I'd easily take the chance on this one.

I'm relatively new to Alembic, so I may be off-base here, but shouldn't there be a switch on the lower body for the LEDs?

In this instance, the LED's come on when the DS-5 is connected. (Most Series basses with LED's are setup this way)
They are always on when 5 pin cable is connected to DS-5 in this case.

That bass ticks a good few of the right boxes for me.
