thanks Bob for the clarifications. I did also assume that series referred to the pickup configuration and the type of bass. I was thinking that the alembic series 1, or 2 represented the top of the line, the standard that all other basses would be measured by. Based on that interpretation, I figured that if the electronics were extended in features beyond series 2 then it would be logical to call the bass with full independent sf2 electronics a series 3. Too bad that physical limitations would prevent that.
Your rogue bass must have a sound palette that's unmatched even by a series bass.
