I believe that there are 2 configurations of TRS to 1/4" that you can get from Butch.
He offers TRS to a single 1/4" male mono cable that has summing resistors in one of the housings.
He also has TRS to 2x1/4" for true stereo, bass and treble pick ups.  This configuration works great with an
F2-B or a stereo amp/speaker set up.
Also, another +1 for Butch.

Thanks for all the helpful replies! It sounds like Butch is the person I can trust for cables.
I will order a TRS to 2x1/4" and a replacement 5 pin cable today.
I have a set of Thomastik-Infeld Jazz Flats on order and look forward to trying them out.

I love this Forum: even after just joining.
I like being a part of the Alembic community.
There is something interesting going on here that I am trying to put my finger on.
Maybe it's a combination of deep LOVE for the beautiful instruments, genuine respect for the legacy and history of Alembic, finding others who are as obsessively nerdy as I am about idiosyncratic things like tone and the technology that leads to it, and some good natured people who simply love music.
Thanks, Mark

Flatwounders: don't forget about my beloved D'Addario Chromes. I only use them on my 4-string, but they tend to have tension more like a roundwound. At least they are a cheap experiment. You have to get the extra-long scale for long scale Alembic basses.

Looks like you have all the details from the build so I'll mark this one as done! (Thanks, Rob!)
