No, rv: it’s not on hold or anything…name of the shop is Miki Gakki Bass Side: Manager is Tsukiyama san. He’s a cool cat. I could translate it for you, but Google saved me the trouble!

Since it was brought in with the preamplifier removed, we consulted with Mr. Takahaya, the representative of the handmade effector brand TRIAL, and had it completely reproduced based on the original 1975 Series 1 preamplifier that was in stock at our shop at that time. Not all parts are the same as those at that time, but we use semiconductors from that time as much as possible. Since the pickup was broken when it arrived, we asked ALEMBIC to make a new pickup. As a result, the pickup was replaced with a new ALEMBIC pickup. Think of the preamplifier as a TRIAL product that has been restored to the original circuit. The essential sound outputs a wonderful sound comparable to the ALEMBIC sound. Since the pickup and preamplifier are new, the sound power is sufficient. You can also use a power supply.
Although it is in good condition, there is a step on the adhesive surface between the wing and the neck material due to aging, but it does not seem to cause any major problems. Scratches and dents can be seen according to other ages. The neck condition is kept in good condition, and the play condition is also good with the remaining amount of frets / truss rods. It is a unique and unique one with the logo on the head top mounted upside down from the beginning.
