I love Oliver Lake! I've only seen him a few times (ca. late 80s, with Geri Allen in the band). My old band, Shockra, used to cover his tune, Tone Clone, which was always a show stopper.

After thinking about the Jester bass for 9 months, I had come to the conclusion that this project will not be an Alembic project after all.
 
To farther my knowledge, I had decided, I wanted to be more involved with the day to day decisions on this bass -- and wanted to become personally involved with every aspect of the engineering and testing (from the rooter to the tooter).
 
This is my last post on this bass. All inquiries will be responded via private email(s).  
 
 
Peace and Love,

Never say never is indeed a wise statement. However, I just could not resist not showing the amount of ebony my Jester bass will possess down it's spine...  
 

 
Peace and Love,

[moderator's edit: The user was previously advised that posting updates on a commercial non-Alembic build are not acceptable]

Is the sliding pickup system no longer happening?

First of all, I was never warned of anything the moderator said... if wrong please point this to me...
 
With that being said, I own 2 Alembics and had one custom made. So, for the moderator to delete a picture without any underline messages to what course I was going to take with my bass, was very presumptuous, and wrong. What made you flinch, to immediately react on a simple design which was shaping in many different directions, that was wrong to read what you wanted, and remove my ideas from the scope of an assigned thread?
 
I am sick and tired of being watched as if I am  in a store to steal something, when I paid cash (not credit) for the things I want. In fact, I am doing the very opposite of this, because I give more of ideas when others, may profit from them. Alembic don't offer me everything, no company does.  
 
It's sad, some humans ideas would be un-righteously censored, when this is suppose to be a dream section.  
 
Why suppress concepts, then there are many ideas here, where Alembic players speak of solutions from manufactures working well with Alembic equipment. I seen Alembic pickups on Fender basses, and I seen non-Alembic electronics on Alembic basses. Why not delete those individuals who posted their configurations?  
 
Why target only me?
 
Just the other day, I read about people buying different color strings, (not Alembic) and I seen pictures of non-Alembic pickups on Alembics basses, and even Stanley Clarke's basses had been made available for sale here.  
 
Why target me?
 
Yet, when I post something, I get hassled like being profiled by a jealous cop, who pulls me over because I am and beautiful in every-way...  
regardless of the unfairness, bigotry that exist.  
 
Now multiply your actions 10 million times!  
 
It's people like you, keeps me in reality seat. Thank you for waking me up.
 
 
Peace and Love,
 
Hal-

this is an Alembic forum and you're talking about building a non-Alembic bass, this belongs somewhere like talkbass, not the ALEMBIC Club, so i'm going to have to side with the moderator

Thanks for teaching someone who actually have experience in owning an Alembic custom bass. It was one the most exciting things I ever done THIS YEAR... You should give a try some time.
 
Taylor, honestly, I can careless what you think nor are you the driver of this bass. I am staying on point with what I said. On the other hand, your comments has no effect on what has happened to me this day.  
 
Peace and Love,

are you trying to knock me for not having had my own custom Alembic? i'm freakin 18 years old and i have to pay for all my music equipment along with everything else i do and always have had to. what are you, 4 years old because you sure act like it  
 
i'm not trying to change you're mind, i'm saying whoever modded you're picture had the right to do so because it's not in the right place at all, if you don't like the rules or the way things are run then stop complaining and just leave

Hal; an email was sent to you on this subject dated October 18.  The reasons for the policy were clearly and reasonably set out in the email.  The email also clearly stated that any pictures that continued outside the policy would be deleted.
 
This morning you chose to post a picture.  Two different moderators spotted the picture.  The two moderators spent the next fifty minutes discussing the matter.  It took fifty minutes because we wanted to be fair to you and to everyone else.  We took into account the Fenders with Alembic pickups example (which is not the same thing) as well as other examples that might be similar.  We really did want to be fair and to proceed prudently.  From our perspective, the picture was clearly unwarranted; and after fifty minutes of discussion, it was removed.
 
If you want to discuss this further, please feel free to email me.
