I took the pics with my iPhone, so they're kinda lame. This is the first bass I've owned with an ebony fingerboard. WOW! Ya know, my bass just made me thirsty. pauldo Senior Member Username: pauldo Post Number: 973 Registered: 6-2006 Posted on Thursday, May 02, 2013 - 3:51 am:    Oh yeah! Beauty. Now that you made me thirsty also, it has hit me. The top on your bass looks like the head on a Guinness. :-D stout71 Intermediate Member Username: stout71 Post Number: 127 Registered: 7-2011 Posted on Thursday, May 02, 2013 - 4:04 am:    Yeah, I know. Coincidence? I think not. tbrannon Senior Member Username: tbrannon Post Number: 1563 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Thursday, May 02, 2013 - 4:28 am:    How good was that smell when you opened the case? Waaaaaay better than 'new car' smell!! Beautiful bass. Loved watching the FTC thread on this one. growlypants Junior Username: growlypants Post Number: 42 Registered: 3-2011 Posted on Thursday, May 02, 2013 - 6:31 am:    Congratulations, stout71! I watched your bass progress through construction, but I've got to say, it looks even better now that it's in your house!! stout71 Intermediate Member Username: stout71 Post Number: 128 Registered: 7-2011 Posted on Thursday, May 02, 2013 - 6:39 am:    Dan - I just checked out your profile. I live right down the street so it would seem (Lawrenceville). We should get together sometime. 5a_quilt_top Intermediate Member Username: 5a_quilt_top Post Number: 111 Registered: 6-2012 Posted on Thursday, May 02, 2013 - 9:12 am:    Love that bird's eye... hammer Advanced Member Username: hammer Post Number: 355 Registered: 9-2009 Posted on Thursday, May 02, 2013 - 11:53 am:    I love the neck inlays and everything you have done to make this bass one of a kind. Good things do come to those patient enough to wait. However, while I agree with Toby that the smell that rises to one's nostrils when opening up the case of a new Alembic might be better than a new car smell, I can't believe that it beats that of a freshly poured pint of Guinness. stout71 Intermediate Member Username: stout71 Post Number: 169 Registered: 7-2011 Posted on Saturday, September 28, 2013 - 11:25 am:    I got a surprise gift yesterday - a cutting board made from the proof of concept wood for the clover cut-out. Pretty cool. musashi Intermediate Member Username: musashi Post Number: 195 Registered: 5-2004 Posted on Saturday, September 28, 2013 - 12:29 pm:    If there was a "like" button I would click it. Tres Cool. tubeperson Senior Member Username: tubeperson Post Number: 446 Registered: 5-2005 Posted on Saturday, September 28, 2013 - 12:38 pm:    Love that Shamrock cut. Just think if they were able to make that cut in one piece, that would be quite the prize. The Birds Eye Maple is gorgeous as well. We need some McSorley's dark and light to toast the newbie. Play it well and often. If you look at the top half of the Guinness glass, it looks like chocolate quilted maple adriaan Moderator Username: adriaan Post Number: 3051 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Saturday, September 28, 2013 - 12:43 pm:    Mm, tasty!
