Still no word on this repair - can someone call Alembic for me or mention it when they chat, I would really like to get my Cocobolo sounding again.
 
Cheers Garth

Hmm, this was set aside after inconclusive tests and sadly overlooked. Dad is doing some more tests on it (at this moment!) and I hope to have some more details for you in a day or two.  
 
Sorry this is taking so long.

Thanks Mica,  I can see from the site how busy things are there.  Just glad to hear that you are on the case. Look forward to hearing the results of the test.

Found some problems - which is good. But they were a little trixy! Looks totally fixed, just one more string of tests and we'll ship it off. Email me your current shipping address, it's been so long, you may have moved in the meantime.

Hello Mica,
 
Actually I have moved countries since then but will get you to send back to my wife's work address in Hong Kong.  I will send you the current shipping address in Hong Kong via email.
 
Thanks again and look forward to getting the coco sounding again.
 
Cheers, Garth

How lame is that? The parcel was all perfectly packed, customs form all filled out, and then safely covered by some packing material until today.  
 
It's outta here in the am post - I will confirm that the same has happened for you tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.

Hello Mica,
 
PF-6 back in place and bass sounding great. Thanks for your help, I'm so glad to have this one back in service, it is a great sounding bass with such a clear tone. I think I like the sound slightly more than it's better looking sister, 76AC070. This is the first time I have had the chance to compare them back to back.  
 
I'm so happy, thanks again.
