Here's the wood choices for the now Signature Deluxe bass we're building for Terry: These bookmatches are going to look so cool when the finish hits, I can hardly wait! |

Yes , and such a remarkable cycle of "cause and effect" a continuous cycle of the celebration of beauty. Mother nature created both us (people) and the beautiful wood. The Artist Craftsman (Alembic) creates exemplary musical instruments so that we can make and present sonically refined music for our Zeitgeist brethren . It's just SWELL ! ______ |

I hope Mica has time to snap a couple of photos for the build record. It is so cool to be able to see your Alembic in the build process. I will keep the faith. |

We had to fit your bass into the backlog in the assembly department (the original one is already in rubout!). Should be something worth photographing next week. I am keeping an eye out for you on it. |

WOW! That is a work of art. The finish made the character of the wood explode. I can't wait to get my hands on this bass. I thank all of you working on this bass. You are the best. |

Hi Terry, You bass is in setup now, though I think there may be one or two instruments in line before it: When it's ready to ship, we'll let you know. |

Part way through setup: There's still more work to do and final inspection, but it's getting pretty close. |

It's strange how naked an instrument looks without the strings on. |
