Yes, so in moving the pick up, selector switch from the front to the back, the technician put it in the middle, blocking the four pick up balance/gain dals. He then had to move it, and had to fill that spot up. So I requested that he place a knob there so that it looks normal. Everything works perfectly now as it did before, but now we have access again to be able to adjust the different settings for the pick ups.

this is a great bass. and prob easier to play if you are a smaller guy than your 6-string Smith :)

Lol.
Very true. I have become less of a 6 string guy now, more a 5 string player .

I’d give up ten of my basses for this one. That’s how much I miss my Alembic.
