I happened to be visiting at the old location in Santa Rosa when they had just finished this bass and before they presented it to Stanley.  It was right there hanging on the wall.  Absolutely gorgeous instrument.  I had it in my hands, but I’m not a bass player.

Bill, tgo

Nice set!  Looks like some modifications have been made to the controls on the Alembic.

I posted it quickly and just now sitting down to watch it. :-)
Yea looks like the master volume had been removed and the pickup selector switch looks taped up.

The Master Volume  was in his way. Yes, the pickup selector got busted just before this and Trevor did the repair when they got back home

When he's strumming the strings, you can see the problem clearly (He's strumming right over the replacement inlay)
Next time go for the "Newsted" layout, he was on to something :-)
