Just bought a Distillate on consignment.  I'm really psyched, it looks like it hasn't been played, it plays and sounds like a dream.  I'd like to know more about it and the controls, if possible.
 
Thanks,
 
Peter

You may be more psyched than you know; if it's 81 1886 and not 81D1886, you just bought a Series I or II, not a Distillate! (or there was a serial-number-stamping error)  And, of course, give us pictures.  We like pictures.

Here's the link to standard Distallate controls.  Good point on the serial number supplied (no previous look-up found).  Play it Healthy!

Here's a pic.  No such luck of it being a Series I/II.   A quick Google image search indicates to me that it may be a custom order though.

You are going to love it! Distillates are fine basses and this one looks to be a beauty.
