This is going to be a superb instrument. Elegance in simplicity. Play it in good health for as long as nature allows. |

Just in the final cure now:
Light is weird in this room, but hopefully you can see this is a pretty bass. |

Pretty near it - though we had a freak bunch of rain (in JUNE!!), so we're leaving things a little longer in the cure. There's still a little bit of a queue before yours is up for James to setup, I think there may be 5 or 6 things ahead of it.
Here's a nice look at how the accent laminates turned out:

Alan, I got to see your beautiful bass when I toured the factory! You are going to love it! Here's some pics I took. Mine are not as good as Mica's, & none of them do it justice!

You're welcome! If you ever get a chance to tour the factory, I highly recommend it! I'm even more impressed with my Alembic now that I have seen what it takes to make them! |

Whenever I came to conclusion that I don't like how some wood may looks, Alembic come to show me how beautiful can any wood be... This Bass is gorgeous.

Alan already knows, but here's a picture showing the completed bass:
Looks really great! Mary will be finishing her final inspection tomorrow, so if all goes well, it's a Monday ship date. |
