hi  
 
I cant wait to see this one rami i love the wooden pickup covers i love dark woods as much as you and am looking forward to one day getting my very own custom Alembic.  
 
 I like the idea cof having a mode selecter swich and think it would be cool to have an off setting on it so you can try things like Blasko from Rob Zombie and Tom Morrello from audioslave who rapidly switch it on and off to gain a shimmery effect.
 
i cant wait to see the completed pictures

Thanks for the kind words Andrew.  
 
I CAN'T WAIT EITHER!!!!!
 
My problem with the OFF or Standby mode is that if it were put on the MODE selector, I'd have to jump through several positions to get to it.  It was always something I never liked on my current Series II, because it's on the same switch as the pickup selector.  Any OFF/Standby would have to be a separate two way switch that wouldn't change any control settings along the way. For this one, I don't think that amidst all the beautiful ebony knobs that a switch would fit in with the look.  So I'll just leave it for the power supply.
 
By the way, I'm a HUGE Audioslave fan.  I love everything that Chris Cornell ever did, from his days with Soundgarden, his solo stuff, and with Audioslave. He's a true genius.

Hi Mica,
 
Have the twins left yet???

Nope ...I think they went for a drink at the bar downtown

hehehehehe

Rami already knows this, but the twins are on their way home. Hopefully customs won't try to keep them around too long.  
 
Can't wait for you to see the new pickup finish (hint: if you like the way Valentino's looks, you will not be disappointed).

Thanks Mica!
 
Valentino's Bass has got to be THE most stunning Bass I have EVER seen!  WOW!!!

Oooops ...I didn't know you were UK based Rami, the island in the 'middle' of the pond.

Hey rami.
I hadn't realised you were here in the uk either. Anywhere near Edinburgh? If you're ever passing give me a call and we could get together to talk 'alembic'.

Actually guys, I live in Montreal (Canada).
I've been to England many times and I absolutely LOVE it.  I would even consider living there permanently.  I was in London this past summer and had the time of my life.  I met the nicest, friendliest people ever.  The greatest cosmopolitan city in the world.
I'll definitely be back!
 
Rami
