Thanks! This one is completely different than my other MK. Buckeye Burl / Cocobolo - Mahogany / Vermillion - ebony lam.- aluminum tone block / brass - Fatboy Pup.- red leds / blue ......Can't wait!!

Is this just me or what? I definitely see a _mule_ in the grain of the first pic in Mica's first post.

Drop dead _gorgeous_ bass with or without the mule, who seems to have disappeared as the bass was built up and routed.

I can see the mule now that you mention it. Had to kinda squint my eyes.
Mule walks into a bar. Bartender asks, why the long face! Lol!

Saw your bass in rubout. I can't predict the exact shipping date, but it does look like it will be pretty soon if all goes well.

Mica, when does the company start to rub out the customers instead of the basses (you know I love ya')?

Awesome Buckeye, from one that owns a Series Buckeye. I never get enough of that variety wood. Enjoy it and play as an awesome player!

BTW It is the horses head and not the bottom round that I see in the first picture. And I love horses. Hey Dave H. is that OK on the Forum? Heh heh heh!!!!

Well Incredibass arrived Friday , and was lucky enough to have a gig that same night! What a HUGE sound! I highly recommend the ebony laminate in the neck! This is one incredible instrument! Thank You Alembic! :-)
