Ha! 😆


Only in a very roundabout way... Rob sent me a set of Novak Bisonics for one of my projects as a swap for a set of FatBoys... which replaced these AXY's in one of his projects. Or possibly those were my old FatBoys? Either way, they went to a very good home. And those Darkstars went in a Starfire bass project I gifted to an aspiring young bass player... still playing it.


100% true though... what the Club is for. 😎

Glad that all worked out! I love Distillates. My first Alembic was a long scale '86 that I bought from HAMMER (Brian) in 2014. Just an incredible instrument. I now have the '83 Distillate Exploiter that I bought from been down (Tim), and it has even slightly more tonal range than my first. This one is an absolute keeper and will be with me till the end.

And wow, I guess Rob is the go-to guy for pickups now. ;D  We're in the middle of a trade deal that will get me an AXY for my '83 Spoiler. Yes, the Club is great!
