If anyone is upgrading their electronics, or if there are cosmetic blems available at the Alembic shop, then I would like get in on the action.  I have a Spector NS-4 with EMG-HZ35DC.  They are about 1.5x3.5.  So I think I would have to get the Fat Boy size housings.  I have an Alembic dealer/ luthier line up for the extra routing.  It is not likely that I will be able to afford a new activator set this month, and with price increases coming in January an activator set will probably not get onto my purchasing radar screen in the foreseeable future.  So I am looking into any ther options available.
There are only 3 control knobs on my bass, so I don't need anything too fancy.
 
Thanks.

theres a set of series I electronics right here on this site (if davehouk didnt sell yet),and a jazzbass set(alembic)on ebay.

Thanks, but I think I will have to stick with something simpler.  My bass has the curved body and I don't think it would hold all of those electronics.  Besides I could almost get a new activator set by the time I paid davehouk the $600 that he is hoping to get for his Series I set.  I would probably have to get Essence or Europa electronics at the most.  I have a fairly large control cavity and another compartment with 2 9v batteries.

Mica has stated on this site in the past that from time to time blem Alembic activators are available at a reduced cost for those that are interested. Drop her a private email and see what she has. As far as the electronics you need to go along with them, unless you can get something used, you're at Alembics mercy RE: pricing. As you are undoubtably aware, not many things with the Alembic name on them are cheap, LOL! Good luck. Let us know how you make out.

No, the Series electronics were sold.
