Wanted: vintage style alembic bass pickups

fretted4 · June 30, 2009, 05:59:13 PM

hello there folks, Im trying to find an original set of alembic pickups, the early design pickups that were held in with just two screws-not to be confused with the more popular black soapbar style that use 4 screws. Anywayz, let me know! thanks

Hi.

A couple of sets of vintage P-style pups have come up on e-bay recently.

They look to have been sold for around ?150-?200 (which doesn't seem like a bad price considering how much a new set of pups on their own will cost).

Hope this helps.

I have this creepy feeling that this is one of Michael Delacerda's that fell victim to Katrina.

I like the paradoxical nature of that photo.

We switched basses for the pic. The Series II is mine.

George the other guy (the taller one) is Sir David T himself. SALUTE
David is whom we must thank for getting the Dallas Alembic Gatherings rolling. He suggested the first one.

OO
