What is Alembic's typical turnaround time? lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 3616 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Saturday, March 21, 2009 - 8:32 am:    The sound of one hand clapping?

About a month? ;) lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 3617 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Saturday, March 21, 2009 - 8:44 am:    Like most things Alembic, I don't believe there is a "typical" answer to the question. Each project/instrument is different. Each presents uniquely and has its own particular issues. The only attempt at an answer I can offer, in my own experience, is that you won't get it back until it is done to perfection. Bill, tgo juggernaught Advanced Member Username: juggernaught Post Number: 272 Registered: 3-2007 Posted on Saturday, March 21, 2009 - 8:55 am:    All too true. I expect nothing but perfect work, but good work takes time. My bass deserves time. I'm just hoping that people with similar work will be able to share their experience. Plus I might have expectations that are unrealistic for this work. I'm hoping for about a month, but am considering getting a temporary replacement Alembic if it may take considerably longer. Pierre, if you're listening, how long did it take to get your MK from the heat bend? mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 5978 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Saturday, March 21, 2009 - 9:13 am:    The turnaround can be as short as a week or as long as a month. I'm usually pretty good about getting this across when making arrangements, so I'm sorry if I didn't make it clear. Pierre's bass was completed in 2 days, and we waited for the following Monday to ship so it would arrive the same week. juggernaught Advanced Member Username: juggernaught Post Number: 274 Registered: 3-2007 Posted on Monday, March 23, 2009 - 1:38 pm:    Thanks for the info Mica! You may have told me, but am prone to forget such things.
