When I first saw the wood, I thought "yuck," but seeing it in context it looks really, really nice. *Really* nice! John |

There's still the calibration and final inspection to finish, but here's your bass today: The tape is holding the humcanceller in place until it receives the final approval from my dad. There are 2 calibrations in front of yours, so for a little while, your bass will just be waiting in line. But you might as well see how it's shaping up! |

Really pretty and an amazing sandwich. I guess mahogany and the switch is for LEDs? Mark |

I think you are right but I'll put in as stained ash just to thicken the pot-plot. |

Paul, If I remember correctly- Alembic doesn't use stains. They do tint the spray finish (like the cool amber finish on some of the maple tops), but they never stain the wood. Take all of that with a grain of salt- I've been VERY wrong a few times around here. Toby |

It's Vermilion - and I'll dash in the setup room later in the week to get you a photo of the peghead too, Shoji. |

Actually Toby, I appreciate it very much. It's more information that I didn't know. I like learning in here. Thanks buddy! |

Hi Mica, Hope you still remember my request for more pics of the peghead. Because, I'm eager to see that to see if it's completed as ordered before shipment from the factory. Red Tiger |

Your bass is in the final calibration area, so we're nearly done now. Here's the back of the bass: and the peghead:

Mica, Thanks for the cool pics!!! Looks really amazing, but just one question for you. Is that the "Solid 14K Gold logo and script" that I ordered? I paid extra for it, but cannot find out any "script" on it. Red Tiger |
