Okay, I've been promising pictures for almost a month now, and finally I've got them. I'm not as good a photographer as Mica, but these will have to do. I love this thing! I vowed I would never play it out, well, that lasted about five hours.......

Specs:
Alembic XLB-5 Excel
Serial Number: 03X13109USA
Top Laminate: Redwood Burl
Accent Wood: Maple, Purpleheart
Body Wood: Ash
Neck Woods: 7 piece Maple, Pau Ferro, Purpleheart
Fingerboard: Ebony
Veneers: Maple, Walnut
Electronics: Vol, Pan, Bass, Treb, 2 FATBOYS
Machine Heads: Alembic Gotoh
Custom Features: Recessed Nickel Straplocks, Nickel Plated Hardware, Brushed Nickel Finish on Hardware.

I wish I would have had the trussrod cover made from the nickel too. Mica, can I have you make that at a later date?

Very nice indeed! I love that top. I bet it looks even better in person.

The Top is simply amazing! It has a three dimensional quality that the cam= era cannot capture. I would severe my arm then ever lose this bass!
