I'm the proud owner of an Alembic Orion 5-string bass, stock setup EXCEPT that a previous owner had replaced the controls with some aftermarket stuff. I bought it from a person who was not the person who made the changes, and noticed that the original Vol-Blend-Treb-Bass control setup was in the case.
I've had the bass for something like 3 years now. During that time I rehabbed the bridge, replaced a few of the threaded inserts, had the bass Plek'd, so far fine. Then I went to replace the aftermarket controls with the originals, and the originals were missing. I take full responsibility; I'm an adult with ADHD that wasn't diagnosed until my 40s, and I'm sure that I removed the controls from the bass's case to put them someplace safe. That place is safe from me, too.
In an ideal world, I'd simply order another set and put them in. Sadly, I don't live in that ideal world, and don't have the $1100+ USD to afford that.
If I don't break the forum's rules too badly, is there a decent less-expensive setup that could get me at least part-way back to the Alembic that I desire?
