Here is my promised update;
Where the upper hole cover was is now a master volume and where the lower hole cover was has become a stereo/mono switch.
 
I am immensely grateful to everyone at the  Mother Ship for the energy and forthcomingness  to facilitate  the  Rebirthing of 73-32. You are the BEST !  
 My sincere thanks to Mr. Ron Wickersham , Mica , Mary and everyone else that played a role . I love this instrument !  
 
Wolf

I really like not having a brass plate under the pickup selector.   Looks much cleaner to me.

Michael,  Thanks .
The topic of a decision to use the brass plate under the pickup selector was discussed when I initially brought the Bass to Alembic for review. I went with the advice and suggestions given to me from her creators regarding that.

Looks great Wolf - Congratulations & Compliments!
 
The 2nd one is going to be a Custom order with a lot of vintage features, but if I ever have a 3rd Alembic, it's going to be a vintage Series bass... I was very seriously considering buying one (#73-39) for restoration a few months ago, but hesitated.
 
Again... Wow - what a bass!

Thanks Gregory.  
 
I look forward to seeing the process of your custom with vintage features. I have thought of such a process for my self as well at some point perhaps.

Hey Wolf, next time you have the battery box open on ol' #32, would you mind posting a picture?  
 
Every time I look at this thread, that Maple just blows me away... the color is just amazing.
