Thanks Joe! The Alembic sounds great! Of course, it's an Alembic
I hate to keep pestering you for info but: Can you tell me what the nut width is on both of your 32's? And, most importantly, what is the string spacing at the bridge? I want to think this through carefully and avoid as many pitfalls as possible. Standard spacing seems to be .750 or 19mm and it looks like I can get .6xx or 18mm-ish with A hipshot A bridge.
In line with string spacing is pickup selection. At this point I'm thinking a Pitbull, chrome, or perhaps a Fralin Bassbucker in the sweet spot. Both are humbucker size and I want to make sure that the strings line up to the pickup. With the Pitbull the string spacing is identical to a 51 P - I would like to make sure that I line up to the pole pieces.
As for the neck pocket I'm thinking six to seven bolts, with a shaped neck joint, with machined inserts in the neck ala Mr. Aquafresh
