Jazzyvee sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 411 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Saturday, September 26, 2009 - 8:11 am:    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 ! ______ terry_wayne New Username: terry_wayne Post Number: 7 Registered: 8-2009 Posted on Monday, September 28, 2009 - 7:02 am:    I love it. The character will explode when the finish hits it. WoW! This is going to awesome.

It is so cool to be able to see your Alembic in the build process. I will keep the faith. terry_wayne Junior Username: terry_wayne Post Number: 11 Registered: 8-2009 Posted on Friday, October 23, 2009 - 11:43 am:    All has been very quiet. Does anyone know how things are going? Any feed back will be much appreciated. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 6437 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Friday, October 23, 2009 - 5:49 pm:    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. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 6452 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Friday, November 06, 2009 - 5:54 pm:    I saw the body laminates all staked up last week: And Kris arranged a little preview with the neck: For this week's collection, the body being glued to the neck: And the peghead after lots of deciding: jacko Senior Member Username: jacko Post Number: 2487 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Monday, November 09, 2009 - 4:30 am:    Another reason I love walnut so much.

Congratulations Terry, that's a beautiful top. Graeme terry_wayne Junior Username: terry_wayne Post Number: 13 Registered: 8-2009 Posted on Thursday, December 17, 2009 - 7:32 am:    WOW!
