A very nice Knod to those crazy cats from the 60's

Nice!

Very KOOOL !

Wow, looks like we're all doing it, these days!
 
I'd love to see more pics of the rest of the bass.

What a cool bass.  Bet it could tell some stories!

That is awesome! Here's the pic:
 

I took a few other pictures during Dave's visit. Here's a couple:  

 HGR pickups in custom 5-ply pickup rings that are slightly inlaid in the top, 20th Anniversary electronics, new tailpiece, bridge, block, and nut. We were originally going to cover the thumbrest holes with the treble pickup, but it was pretty far from the bridge. So we moved it closer to the bridge and filled the little holes with Bloodwood dowels.  

 Cut the backplate out and bound with Ebony. Also made a shelf for the plate and of course added threaded inserts.  

 Inside it's all shielded with silver, and we built a nice little box for the battery.

Oh yeah! One with dad, too!
 

Beautiful work on the battery box.  It is nice to see high levels of such craftsmanship even in an area that  everyone does not see.

Just incredible!

Very nice!

Beautiful job! Another Starfire achieves its potential!

H-G-R pickups ? ?

The wording in the article is a bit misleading as it states the bass is modified with Series 1 electronics, which I'm almost certain I've read that alembic only install the series electronics in their own basses. However In mica's comments here she writes that it has 20th Anniversary electronics.

The electronics are 20th Anniversary in this bass, but it's easy to get confused as the control layout is pretty much the same.  
 
We're happy to install Series I or II electronics in other maker's basses, but we have to do the installation. With the calibration process, we can't sell them for remote installation.  
 
HGR is the rounded corner, slightly longer humbucker-esque pickups like we put in the Darling, Skylark, and Kit guitars.
