Thanks Dave...I think the top came out great, and I'm sure the back did too. It will have a heart omega with the ebony center stripe, which will look nice and sound great. The fun part is going to be doubling the size of my rig so I can play in stereo...woo hoo! |

Partway through finish, getting the frets installed: Really great color on that Coco Bolo! Plotting the inlaid logo position: And the inlay materials themselves:

OK guys...I'm gonna hijack my OWN thread. We had to start over due to a change needing to be made, so here are a few photos of the new and improved Series II... |

rjmsteel...I'm just hoping Mica puts a towel in the case so that I'll have a way to catch all the DROOL when I open it for the first time!! AND...I'm gonna have an "OUT OF BOX" experience...all on video tape, of course!! |

your bass is "splendide" = wonderful, the sound wpuld be at the same altitude... the "out of box" experience is somthing so personal, so unique, so private, keep it for you. IMO of course |

No matter how many Alembics I see, my salivary glands always go into hyper-drive. Absolutely stunning. |

Your bass looks great. Is the 1st one still under construction? |

Crobbins...I assume that they completed it, and probably offered it to their dealer base, although Mica and I have never discussed it since the new one was started. |

She's HERE!! And the funny story is, I actually did have to chase down the Brown truck!! He dropped of the overnight packages and left, so I jumped in my car and caught up with him down the street!! I'll get all the pics shaved down so I can upload them...the files are all too big. |
