Have had questions about what parts were replaced and included with the bass (the originals that is).  They include the two back plates, the 5 knobs, the tailpiece, the brass bridge support block, the brass nut, the brass ring that goes around the pickup selector, the two pickups (1 of which is dead) several screws,and the original tuners.  A good group of spare parts!  See picture below.

I dont know if I could part with that Koa Alembic for a Fender. GLWTS. Beautiful bass.

The large body was not for me. Picked up a sc SIG dlx and a 73 small bodied series which are now my giggers.  Playing tomorrow in Northport at Gunthers.

I think the short scale series rule for gigging!
