The official version is that you should adjust both in rougly the same amounts. Also, you should give both 1/8 of a turn at a time, and wait until it settles -

but check the FAQ / Must Read section! There's a link to the best possible description on doing your own setup: Joey's post on setting up your bass.

Hi John,

We received your email on Saturday the 21st. We usually are closed on the weekends.

Here is the information in the file for 87S4519:

top: Bocate
body: Mahogany
neck: Maple, 32 inch medium scale
fingerboard: Ebony with pearloid oval inlays
custom features: Standard Point body shape and Crown peghead
originally made for: Kenman Company, Switzerland
birthday: August 26, 1987

The truss rod number isn't recorded, but that's not unusual, since we started using 2 rods in the late 70s, we'd only make a note if the bass had something other than 2 rods. So it's very likely this bass has two rods. Once you get the truss rod cover off, it will be obvious to you how many it has.

You've got some other great replies to your inquiry. Please post again if you need any other assistance.

I KNEW MIca would be in touch once they returned to work.

Nice Jaydee. Now with your ALEMBIC, you are REALLY on top of the world.

Besides the Standard body Spoiler, you and I also share Eden in common. I play thru a DC210XLT Metro with a 115XLT extension cabinet to help fill out those low C's and D's as my Spoiler is a five.

Thanks Mica....
I still have to pic my bass up....so that's the reason why I couldn't take the truss rod cover of ;-)

It's nice to know it's birthday.
Hi Bigredbass....
Your the first who talks about my Jaydee...why is that? hahahaha
....It's a Jaydee and there for unique just like an Alembic but so diffirent in setup and sound!
So...thanks Bigredbass, the Jaydee really playes like a hurricane.
It's very fast.
The Alembic just makes things complete...

Eden DC210XLT and a 115XLT is a nice stack.
Gives you lot's of bottem.
I'm looking for an extra 2x10 cab to go with my 410XST...not that I need it, the XST is 1000W RMS, but I want to use it as a monitor!
I never played on a 15 eden, how would you discribe it?
I dont miss the 15...the low end on this 4x10 is stunning.

Can you send me some pics of you(r) gear?
I allways try to find out who I'm talking to...
My adres is
a.mike@nutsonline.nl
So every one who want's to....please send your pics...and on request I will send mine to.

Thanks guys ;-)

I prefer the 15.

The Metro by itself was just not sufficient in the lowest octave without running way too much bass boost. Not a surprise for a cabinet that's not much bigger than a Twin Reverb. I A/B'd the Metro atop a 410 and the 115 and it was no contest for the sound I preferred, the 15 just added so much . . . so now this stack is the 2 10s, 1 15, and the two high freq horns, though I turn the one off in the 15. Very hifi, yet very full sounding. And very portable for a 600watt stack.

I'm old-school enough to think that if 10s by themselves were the end all and be all for bass, all concert subwoofers would use them instead of banks of 18s. Now LOTS of people are perfectly happy with multiple 10 cabs and they sound great, but it's just not for me.

I would never leave myself with a 'tone only' rig that MUST be run thru a PA, unless I were in a long-term deal with a tour that would allow this. I always have to be ready to carry the room by myself if necessary, and I prefer a 15 in the mix to do this, because it just comes down to keeping them dancing!

Incidentally, there's more than a few Mark King fans here, so we are all very aware of the Jaydees (and Status), and you'll find that lots of us own other basses beyond our ALEMBICs. But we all find that we ALWAYS come back to our ALEMBICs, as there's just nothing else like them.

Yep. you're right bigredbass.

This Alembic got me in it's grip...and it would not let go hahahaha
The Eden however has lots of warm deep.
But I first need to hear the 15cab before I know what I'm talking about.
The TE 1818x was deeeeep, but verry undefined (is this the right word?)
It didn't got the fast responce I wanted.
Maybe I will try a Eden 15 next time I go for a new addon for my rigg.

Thanks for all your replies guys.

Kind regards John
