Hi guys my Alembic have a problem 😭

[fjgktl99]

hi guy! I’m from korea and I love alembic and I using alemic marking deluxe, this bass guitar has a three-stage switch, but the q filter works in the rear pickup, but the q filter does not work in the front pickup, so maybe the entire owner has left the instrument unattended for a long time. Is there a way to solve it? If you have a good idea, ask me.. Thank you have a nice day

There is a procedure we refer to as "exercising the controls". The alembic controls are self cleaning so please try this. Operate each switche on and off for about 50 times, then turn all the knobs fully to each end of the range. Then plug the bass in and use the controls. This is a useful technique to remember.
If there are still issues, please let us know for more advice. Sometimes a photo of the electronics will allow some experts here to see if everything in there looks correct.

Welcome... great to hear that exercising the pots and switches solved your problem. This works because the pots are self-cleaning, you don't need to use "contact revitalizer". If you continue to play the bass frequently enough the pots will stay clean.

If you get a chance everyone here would love to see pictures of your bass!
