After a few phone calls with Susan I finally made up my mind and I pulled the trigger on Alembic #2 for me. It will be as follows: Rogue 5 string 35" scale Maple neck w/ 2 purpleheart pinstripes and 1 ebony pinstripe Ebony fretboard Comfort taper Fretted No inlays (naked fretboard) Blue side LEDs Orion style peghead w/ no bevel 5A quilted Maple top No back laminate Clear finish silver logo and script Standard bridge block and tail piece Brass backplates Brass and gold hardware where applicable Signature electronics Yea me. This along with the John Paul Jones Custom that I bought ~3 years ago. If the wait doesn't kill me I'm going to be one happy camper when it's delivered. :-) the_8_string_king Senior Member Username: the_8_string_king Post Number: 913 Registered: 9-2005 Posted on Friday, November 09, 2007 - 4:41 pm:    Congrats! I can tell you from experience that the combination of 35 inch scale, the Ebony neck laminate, and the Maple top will give you a wonderful sound with an impressive bottom end and sustain. I'd recommend considering adding a set of bass & treble controls to the mix... I just got a Signature Deluxe last month -with an additional pair of (master) bass & treble controls... and it makes a HUGE difference in the overall tonal versatility and flexibility. Upgrading to 3-position Qs is worthwhile, as well. Congrats again, I look forward to seeing it! davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 5656 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Saturday, November 10, 2007 - 2:20 pm:    Congrats Brian!

If you can afford them or substitute the side Led's or something you will be way better off!. Nice bass though, keep pluggin.
