Duarte Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) The combined knowledge and experience here never ceases to amaze. It's bonkers how informative this thread has been so far! Thank you all. In the event that I buy this old bass, would dimarzios be the natural choice of replacement pickups? I'd likely attempt to restore it to something close to its original state. Edited September 2, 2021 by Duarte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alembics were heavy. On purpose. This is how I feel. The best basses I've had were always the heavy ones. Weight has never concerned me, although that may change now my hairline has started to recede... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to be cream covers, obvs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkok's streets are paved with Dimarzios, babay. That is, I've seen some new pairs in shops recently. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
