WOW! What a build! I'm sure it will be worth every second of the wait when you get it Austin! I waited 49 years to get my dream Alembic! I'm visiting the factory in June, if your bass is still there I'll take pictures for you! terryc Senior Member Username: terryc Post Number: 1554 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Wednesday, April 20, 2011 - 6:25 am:    When I win the lottery I am going to get a Classico, I cannot play d-bass to save my life but wouldn't it look great as a piece of furniture, a great talking point when people come around for drinks. THAT is one seriously nice piece of woodcraft. funkyjazzjunky Senior Member Username: funkyjazzjunky Post Number: 697 Registered: 5-2007 Posted on Wednesday, April 20, 2011 - 9:03 am:    one of my favorite songs: "Aint gon BUMP no more with no big fat women" by Joe Tex peetee New Username: peetee Post Number: 4 Registered: 1-2011 Posted on Wednesday, April 20, 2011 - 10:34 am:    Say hi to my Further while you're there Rusty :-) http://alembic.com/club/messages/631/94032.html?1295373609 rustyg61 Intermediate Member Username: rustyg61 Post Number: 112 Registered: 2-2011 Posted on Wednesday, April 20, 2011 - 1:00 pm:    Will do Patrick! That is going to be one beautiful guitar when it's done! I love the pattern in the Coco Bolo!! My SC is Coco Bolo too, the pictures really do not begin to do this wood justice! I was literally speechless when I opened the case the 1st time! All I could say was "Oh my God...Oh my God!!!" http://alembic.com/club/messages/411/97845.html?1299023458 mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 7312 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Wednesday, April 20, 2011 - 6:32 pm:    As of today, I'm feeling pretty confident about a mid-May birthday for this beauty. kilowatt Intermediate Member Username: kilowatt Post Number: 125 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Thursday, April 21, 2011 - 1:05 pm:    I can't wait to see this one done!

Bump! funkyjazzjunky Senior Member Username: funkyjazzjunky Post Number: 702 Registered: 5-2007 Posted on Thursday, May 12, 2011 - 1:14 pm:    my favorite dance was the "Bump" mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 7325 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Thursday, May 12, 2011 - 5:58 pm:    Mid-may isn't quite here. Dad is working on Neil's guitar, then Austin's bass is next in line. So it might be a touch longer than mid-May, but just a touch. rustyg61 Advanced Member Username: rustyg61 Post Number: 211 Registered: 2-2011 Posted on Thursday, May 12, 2011 - 7:25 pm:    I don't want to wish a wait on anyone, but I would love to see this beautiful instrument in June when I tour the factory! mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 7347 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Friday, June 03, 2011 - 6:26 pm:    I walked into the rubout room and it looked like we were being very mean to your bass: It's all strapped down! Then I realized we were being very nice to your bass: I can't peek while it's wet, but I plan on coming on over the weekend, and I will snap a picture of the little present we put on your peghead. darkstar01 Advanced Member Username: darkstar01 Post Number: 332 Registered: 6-2005 Posted on Saturday, June 04, 2011 - 8:42 pm:    ooo a present. sounds fun. mario_farufyno Senior Member Username: mario_farufyno Post Number: 693 Registered: 9-2008 Posted on Sunday, June 05, 2011 - 9:41 pm:    Am I seeing next featured custom?

I found some information about the pickups, Austin, but I need to talk to Roland about the spacing constraints. Will let you know as soon as I know something! rustyg61 Advanced Member Username: rustyg61 Post Number: 275 Registered: 2-2011 Posted on Thursday, July 07, 2011 - 9:12 pm:    http://alembic.com/club/messages/449/108386.html?1310096545 jay_r Junior Username: jay_r Post Number: 26 Registered: 3-2011 Posted on Thursday, July 07, 2011 - 9:18 pm:    Very nice addition! darkstar01 Advanced Member Username: darkstar01 Post Number: 345 Registered: 6-2005 Posted on Thursday, July 07, 2011 - 9:38 pm:    sounds good mica. by the way, guys, sounds like there's gonna be chrome tuners on the Classico. in case you were interested. andbassforall Member Username: andbassforall Post Number: 99 Registered: 9-2008 Posted on Friday, July 08, 2011 - 5:12 pm:    This must be a featured custom!

Missed the message from the 20th here, sorry. Your bass is one or two away from full attention in the setup department. So not much longer now. When we were ready to spray the last coat of finish, we were getting down to near the bottom of the paint supply, and Bob wanted to wait until the new shipment arrived since it's less fussy when it's brand spankin' new. The spraying went very well I'm glad to say!
