[CLOSED] A Sale of Two Distillates.

It really is. I'll miss it, but I just have this feeling that whoever has it next is going to really be inspired. It is an amazing fretless Alembic.

The FatBoys are coming out, and the original AXYs are going back into 85D-3696 here. The price is adjusted accordingly.

$4100 shipped domestically.

Hello,


Is there an option on purchasing the pickups? I am in need of 2 AXY/4s and would be interested in buying them from you. Fatboys work for me.


Please let me know :-)


Thank you,


Bryant

Sorry Bryant, FatBoys are spoken for, so original AXYs are back onboard. I do have a full set of electronics, pickups included, on another thread. They are made for a Guild Starfire. I would split it up if you want only the electronics and not the guitar. https://club.alembic.com/index.php?topic=27277.0


And Happy Birthday to this one... she's 37 years old today.

The grain on that bass is remarkable

[alemboid]

Interesting project!


Please tell me about the pickups - are they AXY/MXY coils in a larger shell? What are the pickup dimensions? I'd be interested in the whole electronics package for the right price.


Oh - How about string spacing on the pickups - are they the same as a regular MXY/AXY4? 


Thank you


Bryant

I realized going over this bass the other day, the tuning machines are chrome but the straplocks are nickel. That just won't do. I'll have to look around for some strap buttons in the correct finish. Weird that I hadn't noticed before.


On that subject - I have several nice heavy padded straps here, and will include one with this bass if someone would like.

Greg,

I think I still have a set from the Vector bass I bought this year. If you can't find any I'll send them to ya.

Edit: just checked and mine are nickle too.

Moderator, please go ahead and [CLOSE] this thread. I still have this bass, but rather than market it, I'm going to wait until someone comes looking for it knowing what they want. 

*Thanks Daniel, I had some Chrome ones in my stash...

Greg, do those AXY4 fatboy pickups work well in the series 1 basses? Just courious.

[edwardofhuncote]

Sure, they worked just fine for a short-term fix. They just aren't single-coil Series pickups. For those, I needed to send my bass back to Alembic.
