Sorry this picture is so junky - just a snapshot, and there's not much light on the face:
But, it is black |

This kid is really happy.
That's exactly the darkness I was hoping for - it will stay about like that through finish then, yes? |

Any chance you can show me a picture of the logo (whenever it gets done)? This homesick boy needs something to cheer him up. Traveling for work sucks. |

Sorry you can't see it yet, but this is your logo today - it's gotta dry overnight.

I take it the magic elves have not caught this in a picture worthy state since this was taken? |

Maybe just a nice word or two? How is the finish process coming along? Guessing that since the logo has been inlaid that the color is done? Meaning back to clear coats and then the curing process? |

Your bass is in the final cure stage, just waiting in line for the rubout. I will try to get a shot of it for you before Friday. |

It's before Friday!
Sorry about the lighting - it really isn't that dark. Here's a little photo editing to help:
But it's not that light either. Oh well, it looks really awesome in person.
Pretty pretty! |

Brian:
Great shots of your Alembic Logo. the hues in the cloud, (a little silver, salmon? and darker pearl), look outstanding!
And I love the colors of the Abalone, (like we discussed before?) against the black headstock!
So cool!!!

Should I be stalking the UPS man? A little birdie told me this might be heading north this week. |

At the risk of being a pain in the ass: any estimate on when this might get some attention in Ye Olde Setupe? |

You are not a pain in the slightest, Brian. Ye Olde Setupe is getting a crack at your bass on Tuesday. I will call you before we ship to coordinate the arrival date. |

Suite. It'll hopefully make its stage debut two weeks from tonight!
Thanks! Looking forward to your call, Mica! |

Heard this bass from my office while James was playing your bass a few minutes ago. I had to go and see what the thunder was all about. Imagine my surprise when it was your petite bass! |

I hope you can handle this!
Was just passing by, so the angle's not good, but you can see it's got all it's goodies in place. It's not as dark as it seems in the pic, color is the same as when you visited. It's just a snapshot.
I dare not touch it until Mary give me the go ahead after her inspection tomorrow. I think that means gearing up for shipping out Monday or Tuesday should everything go well. |

It looks like death. I can see my reflection in it.
I eagerly await the UPS truck... and our Great Dane barking his fool head off at it. |

Pictures of its first gig are now over here.
I'll add some photos of the bass when I can get some that do it justice. It's proving insanely difficult to get the lighting right so it looks like it actually does in person. |
