Very cool. I've never owned an Alembic- Can someone enlighten me on the neck attachment? Are the bolts under the black plate? Also, I wonder how much do you have to pay to get all eight of the pickup screws, rather than just four?

It's a set neck, no bolts required! lol
And IIRC, that's how Alembic pups are mounted. I do believe there are no holes drilled for additional screws in the body.

That's a real fine piece of "Superb Walnut"!! It's looks to be in outstanding shape for a 20 year old bass. And it's a good price. If I had the $$$ it'd already be gone

^^^ fivebass52 is correct..... The extra holes I bet have a phillips screw underneath like Joe Zon does on his basses. You can adjust the height with the hidden screws (allen wrench inside the hole) and then top screws (seen) lock the height adjustment.

It's actually really good and no need for foam under the pickups.

Sure is a good looking bass, and I'll bet that price is more than half of what it originally sold for...

Just looked at the pickups on my Alembic Epic 5-string, and the adjustment screws inside the holes are phillips screws, so you just need a slim phillips screwdriver to adjust the heighth....
