James is cutting out the SCARLET as we speak. Probably needs 2-3 coats of finish after that. QCB scraps should be down at Roger's. I'm going on vacation from th 15-20, and since that's Thanksgiving week, I'll estimate that your bass would be ready the week of 11-26, should be able to ship out that week or the next. Getting awfully close there! | ||

You will have a very unique instrument by any standard or desire! This should cover all 8 days plus a few of the other major holidays. Now if only someone else paid for it...... btw I'm coming up on a year since i ordered my fretless. A lot more pedestrian than yours I think. Congrats! | ||

Flax & Brad: Once it's in your hands, the long build time doesn't seem to matter anymore. It's as if when you can feel the "weight", you forget about the "wait". Good luck to both of you. Bill, tgo P.S. I'm still waiting on the Calton case I ordered for Woody last June! | ||

It's got all the finish now, just waiting for the final curing:  With our cold snap, we will probably wait a week before attempting the rubout on this bass. | ||

I keep holding my laptop up in front of my face to look into the detail. It's kinda like the pictures of the inside of an active volcano; intensely hot liquid fire. Pretty amazing! | ||

I'm headed to San Jose on the 12th, Santa Rosa is on the schedule for Thurs or Friday. As far as the finish line goes, I'm thinking that what really matters is possession. 9/10ths of the law and all that. Can we get a legal ruling? Is there a lawyer in the house? | ||

Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 2741 Registered: 7-2004 |
Yea, there's a lawyer in the house, and I already beat you both! When an Alembic arrives is far less important than that it arrives. Bradley, you gonna be headin' thru this way? Bill, tgo | ||

Hanukkah Harry got you a pair of socks. And six strings = six speeds. I will beat you. Bill, I'll be down the 13th - 15th. Email me if you'd like to connect. | ||
