"I will have huge pleasure with this instrument." "...although for the price paid I feel there is no place for error..." There must be something lost in translation because it seems to me you're happy about the outcome and then you're not. |

I dont need to justify myself, I say only that they are two different concepts and complementary. Pleasure <=> Requirement |

I believe in Carma. I remember all the positive and negative things people said about my Toma_Hawk bass build, and Pierre, for the most part, was very negative on the Toma_Hawk FTC threads, and yet this occasion was it suppose to be one of the best days of my life. But you know, even after all that sh_t, I still wish you well bro. Peace and Love, Hal- |

I took the pictures on Monday, and will email them to you soon. My lovely little toddler (aka "The Disease Vector") has gifted me a terrible cold, so I'm steering clear of the office. Hope to be back on Monday. |

Very nice Pictures PierreYves. I know how difficult these photographs can be to take as I also have an interest in reptiles and currently own a Royal (ball) python and a 2.5m Boa constrictor. I've yet to take pictures of them that I'm really happy with. Graeme |

latest news: my bass arrived at the dealer who found that the coating finish of the neck that was not requested: I requested a standard satin finish and there is a gloss finish: why a gloss finish you never do on basses ? why do not you check the instruments before shipment? The dealer returned the instrument at Alembic without asking my opinion, what I would have refused. |

Oh no! That sounds terrible, Pierre. Your last sentence is unclear -- do you mean you did want the bass returned, or you didn't? |

I have a gloss finish on the neck of my 76 small body, and it grips my playing hand too much... Satin finish on my Toma_Hawk basses are much more comfortable, and FASTER too. P, I am with you on having a satin finish... its worth the wait, if the bass was returned to Alembic to have this done... Peace and Love, Hal- (Message edited by toma_hawk01 on May 10, 2011) |

Take one gloss finish neck and one piece of 0000 steel wool. Rub wool on neck = satin finish. Bill, tgo |

Sand paper No. 600 worked great on the neck of my 1976 vintage shorty. Peace and Love, Hal- |

Yeah, I was gonna say -- I thought the one difference between a satin and gloss finish was sanding. |
