It's about time. I am only aware of 4 Alembics with Amboyna. Pele, my custom Essence, COTM 11/2002 Autumn Delight, which Mica claimed was mislabeled in the write up, and the 5 string Essence in the picture section. There may be others that are below the radar, but still a very unique choice. Let the wait begin. Congratulations.

Can't wait to see how this shapes up as a bass. rv_bass Junior Username: rv_bass Post Number: 48 Registered: 8-2014 Posted on Saturday, July 04, 2015 - 6:03 pm:    Wow, that's gonna look nice! davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 11832 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Sunday, July 05, 2015 - 4:17 pm:    Congrats!! artswork99 Moderator Username: artswork99 Post Number: 2048 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Monday, July 06, 2015 - 5:18 pm:    wowie! slawie Senior Member Username: slawie Post Number: 804 Registered: 8-2002 Posted on Monday, July 06, 2015 - 6:07 pm:    What a start Jerry!

( was ist das ? ) What is that ? Wolf the curious ! stout71 Advanced Member Username: stout71 Post Number: 258 Registered: 7-2011 Posted on Monday, July 06, 2015 - 6:44 pm:    I do, but mum's the word for now. I'm sure there will be a forthcoming FTC thread in the next year sometime. stout71 Advanced Member Username: stout71 Post Number: 259 Registered: 7-2011 Posted on Monday, July 06, 2015 - 6:47 pm:    Yep - Amboyna funkyjazzjunky Senior Member Username: funkyjazzjunky Post Number: 982 Registered: 5-2007 Posted on Monday, July 06, 2015 - 6:57 pm:    love that burl edwin Senior Member Username: edwin Post Number: 2062 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Tuesday, July 07, 2015 - 6:01 pm:    When the picture first popped up, my reaction was "What the heck is that huge pizza?" Stunning wood. Just amazing. charles_holmes Senior Member Username: charles_holmes Post Number: 414 Registered: 3-2009 Posted on Thursday, July 23, 2015 - 8:59 am:    I totally agree with Mr. Edwin in that I thought it was pizza! I can't wait to see this when finished. Yowser, Yowser, Yowser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mucho Kudos!!! charles_holmes Senior Member Username: charles_holmes Post Number: 429 Registered: 3-2009 Posted on Wednesday, August 19, 2015 - 4:44 pm:    Any new developments with your bass Jerry? Any photos?!! stout71 Advanced Member Username: stout71 Post Number: 264 Registered: 7-2011 Posted on Thursday, August 20, 2015 - 7:39 am:    There have been developments, but they are minor so far. I picked out the back piece and I am told the neck lams were selected. Maybe an FTC thread will be started soon, but I'm guessing it will be at least several more weeks. I'm referring to it as "Mystic Pizza" (anyone that grew up in the 80's will probably get the reference) based on everyone's initial reactions. Now pizza is all I can think of when I see it! cozmik_cowboy Senior Member Username: cozmik_cowboy Post Number: 1927 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Thursday, August 20, 2015 - 11:31 am:    Does that mean a laser-etched portrait of Lili Taylor on the back???? Peter (whose kids grew up in the '80s, but got the reference anyway)
