Hey there RVBASS sorry to hijack the thread, but as a new member I can’t PM you. I had some questions about your Alembicized Bass. Are you able to PM me? Thanks!

Bassgman, it doesn’t look like I can PM you. You can ask questions on the thread for that bass though.

Let me see what I can do. I tried to re-open it, but it wouldn’t let me.
 
RVBass Is this project 100% done?
Would love to know what your final wiring detail ended up being.
I also can not find an ebay vendor with your two piece bridge assembly and would love if you shared the shop that made it for you.

Not yet finished. I decided to install Alembic pickups and electronics. I still have to route the pickup holes.

This is a link for the guy I bought the brass pieces from. The last set I ordered from him he never shipped and did not respond to my email inquiries, I had to get the online company to refund me. So, I’m not sure of his status.

I hope he's OK.
 
I was just chatting with him a couple of weeks ago... mentioned having a guy who had ordered a set and that he would build a pair. Hopefully, that is your set and honours it soon. I really want one for my bass.
 
The reverb store is where I had my issue. I also have his direct email, which he never responded to.
 
I’m putting Alembic AXY pickups in it with for now Essence controls with a Q. Hope to get an Anniversary harness at some point. I hope to have it done this month.
 
Some new Gullembics. Mine has rewarded me well
 
Mine's at my tech for some woodworking that I can't do (back door route) and parts installation, hopefully it'll be done before the end of the year. Here's a rough configuration mock-up pic from the summer to keep the thread alive. Pickup ring was just roughed in, my brother made them.

The maple one is not mine, that is slabboardsam’s. My mahogany one is on hold at the moment.
 
I was wondering if this Dremel right angle attachment would be usefull. Could you carve a pass through for the pots in one of the pickup routes?

 
A rough, wide file will do the trick to easily widen up the holes in the pickup routes so whole harness can pass through. Didn’t take many strokes when I did it.
