Jazzy: The ceiling's fan reflection almost got me tricked on your guitar's finish!

Had this one a while, but never posed on the sofa. =)  

 

 

 

 

   I just love this bass, and very much looking forward to the arrival of it's fretless companion this (coming) year.  (Message edited by edwardofhuncote on December 23, 2015)

Edward, i love that bass too. It grows more on me everytime i pick it up to play. Ive ordered some new knobs and bridge rehab kit including new saddles from mica so when that arrives the bass is gonna get some tlc.
The sound of Alembic is medicine for the soul!

OK, I'll play:  

  Up to this point, I've never had these three together, since the Series was back at the mothership for some TLC.

Rusty - your black Ric has what appears to be a Joe Barden PU in the bridge position and a replacement bridge - ?
 
What did you do?
 
I ask because a few years ago (predating getting an Alembic) I upgraded both PU's and the bridge on my blonde Ric. The PU's are prototype Barden Ric replacements (I was told I was the first in AZ to have them) and the bridge is a Hipshot.
 
Both were drastic improvements over the stock versions.

Good eye David! I replaced both Rick pickups with Seymour Duncans. I got them as a set from Bass Strings Online, & they vastly improved the bottom end! The neck pickup looks cream in this picture but it is chrome. My bridge is one of the original Leo Quan Badass bridges. I bought the bass new in 1979 & changed the bridge & nut after about a year. Since getting my Alembics, none of my other basses see any action unless I do an outdoor gig with bad weather or at a venue I've never played & don't want to chance bringing the Alembics.
