Boogieman replacement board on EBay

Now isn't this odd. I guess imitation is the best form of flattery!

I saw that interesting posting a while ago and there are quite a few other bits of boogieman's alembic replacement gear on ebay. I did think of posting on here but since I have already committed a sin by changing the electronics in one of my basses, I didn't want to perpetuate my disloyalty, especially as I'm slowly realising the shortcomings of my conversion.

That guy will be selling Boogieman single coil replacement pickups soon.

Interesting. I inquired about this board, since my Starfire can be noisy, and told him that I had a very early PF-6 and he discouraged me from purchasing it as he thought it wouldn't really be an upgrade. However, I guess someone making a Series type setup from scratch might find this useful.

Seek atonement and buy another Alembic for your sins, my son!!!  
 
Me, I get entrance into 'Alembic Made-Man' status when my posts finally hit the magic 500 mark (or so I believe). I think they should change the title of 'Senior Member' at that point to something less geezer-like. How about 'divine member'? or 'endowed member'?
 
His other actual Alembic parts seem to be priced kinda high.

I think modding an Alembic is a huge loss, unless done out of necessity.

[edwin]

I think they are just instruments. If modding them is what you want to do, then do it. However, 99.9999999999% the original or replacement Alembic components are going to be a superior option. Don't forget that Alembic started as the original modders. What makes modding not such a great option is that few modders can do work that surpasses their standards. Simply tossing in some EMGs hardly seems worth it, but someone comes up with some radically different idea that produces some cool results, who's to say?

One of the reasons I financed my bass was out of competition.  Columbus Ohio has some good bass players.  With the right amp, I'm gonna have a better tone than all of them.

A copy of PF-6B/C card an upgrade does not make.

At the risk of high-jacking, is Doug Edwards still playing (& still playing his 70s Alembic) around Columbus, Daniel?

In the the advert with the picture of the pickups on the bass it does say that  
THIS SALE IS FOR TWO (2) SINGLE COIL PICK UPS AND ONE (1) HUM CANCELER DUMMY ONLY.
