Here is the back laminate position suggestion: With the continuous wood backplates, it should look stellar! georgie_boy Intermediate Member Username: georgie_boy Post Number: 122 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Friday, October 06, 2006 - 5:45 am:    That is amazing!!! mikekyz New Username: mikekyz Post Number: 1 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Wednesday, October 11, 2006 - 4:16 pm:    I really love this combination wisitsiam New Username: wisitsiam Post Number: 1 Registered: 11-2006 Posted on Friday, November 17, 2006 - 5:09 am:    wow WOW !!! mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 3861 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Thursday, December 14, 2006 - 3:00 pm:    Some stuff from assembly: mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 3864 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Thursday, December 14, 2006 - 4:13 pm:    Here's the top laminate cut out and waiting for the glue up: mikekyz Junior Username: mikekyz Post Number: 27 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Friday, December 15, 2006 - 5:55 am:    Hi Mica Many thanks for the update. Only one problem is the picture load from the email but not on the web site Also just to be safe can you double check that my laminate combination is as per Factory to Customer. Have a great day and thanks again for all your help. Peace Mikie mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 3867 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Friday, December 15, 2006 - 1:57 pm:    I checked the work order for you, and it is marked with: Maple pinstripe Purpleheart accent laminate Maple pinstripe for each side of the accent laminate pack. Look for pictures of the glue-up next week. I can see the photos on the club at work and home. Maybe clear the cache in your browser and reload the page. If anyone else is having trouble seeing the photos, let me know. mikekyz Junior Username: mikekyz Post Number: 30 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Friday, December 15, 2006 - 2:46 pm:    No problem all is working and the work order is correct. I will look for the pictures next week. Thanks again.

By the way do you guys never sleep :-) or take holidays :-) Peace Mike mikekyz Junior Username: mikekyz Post Number: 41 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Sunday, January 07, 2007 - 1:50 am:    Hi Mica On the photo it looks like there are ghost markers at all fret line positions with a led next to the marker at the appropriate pionts. Could you please confirm that the positioning is as agreed with the Ghost markers only showing on those fretlines where no LED is required, as agreed? So it goes P1LED P2GHOST P3LED P4GHOST P5LED Etc Peace Mike mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 4012 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Thursday, January 18, 2007 - 7:02 pm:    Here's the two basses in spray: They look really great! mikekyz Junior Username: mikekyz Post Number: 42 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Friday, January 19, 2007 - 1:11 am:    Hi Mica and the team These look better than I could ever have imagined. Yes its more than Christmas again. I cant thank you enough. the_8_string_king Advanced Member Username: the_8_string_king Post Number: 352 Registered: 9-2005 Posted on Friday, January 19, 2007 - 7:48 pm:    Wow! What a nice pair! bassjigga Intermediate Member Username: bassjigga Post Number: 111 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Friday, January 19, 2007 - 8:07 pm:    Great minds think alike Mike! My fretless custom is going to have the same idea for side position markers - except without LEDs. It will be side dots on the fret position at 1,3,5,7... 12 etc. with sidelines on the rest (i.e. 2, 4, 6...). mikekyz Junior Username: mikekyz Post Number: 43 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Saturday, January 20, 2007 - 2:43 am:    To 8SK and batssjigg, thanks for your comments guys. I cant tell you how much I am looking forward to getting these basses. I have had to sell alomost all of my other basses to pay for them but I am sure it will be more than worth it. Peace Mike olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 1058 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Saturday, January 20, 2007 - 6:43 am:    Very nice Mike, very nice indeed. That walnut is awesome. Have you ever played a Series or Signature bass before? mikekyz Junior Username: mikekyz Post Number: 44 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Saturday, January 20, 2007 - 3:33 pm:    Hi Oliver, have a look at COM Custom in Stages. This is my first Alembic and was the moment that I decided to go shortscale in a big way. My personal view is that Alembic are the very best of the best in custom bass builders. Everytime I play my bass it makes me smile from ear to ear. Peace Mike mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 4155 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Tuesday, February 20, 2007 - 4:17 pm:    Right now Scott's Quilted Coco Bolo bass is getting the calibration, but next in line are your basses. Here's the Walnut one awaiting the treatment: The tape holds the humcanceller in place until it passes all the tests.
