Hi all members.
First of all, thank you for making me feel right at home in the Club.
Here is my first tech question after joining the club yesterday.
Unless I am way out in the woods, the 5 strings Excel that was made for Daniel in 2002 does not seem to have the same electronics as when it was produced. I could not really grasp the Filter/ Q Switch combination related to tone.
The pots layout should be: Vol, Pan, Filter, Q Switch per this tread:
http://club.alembic.com/Images/631/1001.html?1025583268 After a bit of testing/troubleshooting, disconnecting pick ups and all, I think I got it figured out.
The bass has (neck to bridge controls): Vol, Bass, Treble and Pan. I am including a picture for reference. The last pot on the right is a stacked pot with inputs from both pickups that can only be Pan.
Since I have not seen pictures of actual controls to compare with what I have, I can only assume for now. One thing for sure, my ears are telling me that I have found the actual layout.
Btw, this beauty sounds even better than I thought. (goosebumps...)
AlembiTechs please advise.
Thanks in advance.
Alain
