I also have conceptual plans for possible future Alembic Custom Creations . It's fun. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 7231 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Monday, February 21, 2011 - 7:56 pm:    How about a Scorpion Spoiler with a Heart Omega to take care of the balance? fc_spoiler Senior Member Username: fc_spoiler Post Number: 1231 Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Tuesday, February 22, 2011 - 12:58 pm:    That would be something like this? Thanx for the suggestion, but I'm thinking as much "Classic Spoiler" (though with the heart omega) as possible for this dreambass. Maybe the headstock can be a bit thinner (as on my '83 Spoiler) and a recessed bird tailpiece would also be neat (as on Monty) And heck... let's go for a 6 feet ebony stinger :-) davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 10150 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Monday, April 25, 2011 - 1:38 pm:    Speaking of stingers, one of the more impressive features to actually see in person in a room full of impressive instruments at the gathering last week was this one; an Ebony and Maple stinger. fc_spoiler Senior Member Username: fc_spoiler Post Number: 1259 Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Monday, April 25, 2011 - 2:39 pm:    Yeah, awesome! Though maybe a bit dangerous combined with my stage performance, I go with the tiny stinger like this :-) Wood preference changed: Koa core, Flamed Koa top (btc) and back (non btc) Ebony/Purpleheart/Ebony veneer/accent/veneer Koa Baby! :-) davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 10156 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Monday, April 25, 2011 - 5:55 pm:    Picturing the inlaid script, I'm wondering if you could also add the rays and have them intermingle with the script somehow. fc_spoiler Senior Member Username: fc_spoiler Post Number: 1399 Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Friday, September 21, 2012 - 12:24 pm:    I should definitely sleep more, crappy Photoshop visualisation of my latest nightmare:
