The logo looks very nice and unique; the shell behind the Alembic looks mysterious with its "layers". |

Lots of really nice elements to this bass - love the bookmatch to center (I think that's what it's called), though I also love the mahogany neck laminates. And the black hardware! |

Here's a "bonus" shot of the logo before the bass was completed: The colors are very dynamic. |

Beautiful shot of the logo! The layers in the shell suggest the elements within the Alembic before they come together in alchemy. |

The shell choice used in the cloud portion is unreal! It really looks like there is storm happening if you look closely. Great work! |

Wow, Mica, that inlay looks like a storm building over the seas off of Hawai'i. What a stunner! |

All this talk of storms reminds me there's a cloud of volcanic ash touring the globe. Here's where it's coming from... For some reason this reminds me of Val's bird of prey. Graeme |

The above photo inspires me to make this statement ; May the "Power" be with us . May the positive protective forces rain Love upon our Existence. "The Mystic Law of Cause and Effect " is a delicate balance! |

... and it can ruin your travel schedule. (Air traffic in Northern Europe is only just starting up again today, after last Thursday.) Lovely to watch, anyway - thanks for posting, Graeme! (Message edited by adriaan on April 20, 2010) |
