Actually, I do not believe I will touch anything on this bass.  I really like it just the way it is.  I did sincerely mean the stuff about having a wonder Christmas and being blessed.  So let's do that for the whole new year coming.

This bass is as good as the seller claimed it to be.  Not a bit of checking in the finish or a crack anywhere to be found.  It needs some polishing, and I will replace the pickups with the old style ALEMBIC ones from this bass:

Might also swap out the bridge and tail piece as I do not 'collect' basses and the ones from my 'used to be a four string' are much better than the ones on earlier Alembics.  The nut is not scalloped, so if it goes to the shop for its minor electrical problem I posted about in Trouble Shooting, I'll ask that an adjustable nut be installed - Again, they are just better.
 
The neck is razor thin - petite, tiny, almost not there at all easy to play.  It does have a hand-cut silver sheet metal logo.  It is a very light bass, perfect for old men with AS, whose backs no longer can take a lot of prolonged weight added to them.  Goes from a very bright sound to deep with a nice growl sound.  Just amazing for such a tiny instrument.  All-in-all, a great bass and a wonderful sound ya only get from series electronics.  Seller was great to deal with, too.  So happy camper story.

Congratulations Thomas. Sounds wonderful.  Can't wait to see it with the old style pickups! Todd
