October 2000Short and SweetWhen Dave ordered this custom bass, he knew he wanted something very special. So he decided to make the trek from Maryland to pick out the particular front and back laminates. It also gave us a great opportunity to learn directly from him what he wanted from the bass so we could give appropriate advice on other features. What started as a short scale Series II evolved into a masterpiece.

After
seeing the elaborate lamination pattern on the Sterling 25th Anniversary model, Dave decided
on something similar, but still uniquely his own. He started with a Maple core and Purpleheart accent
laminates, then added the triple pinstripes for a bound effect. In the second picture, you can see how
the accent laminates run from the outside edge of the bass all the way through to the pickup and
bridgeblock cavities. So cool!

With such a
nice Burl Walnut top and back, we found a nice little piece of burl walnut hiding in a drawer from
yesteryear to make the peghead veneers. It's also your first glimpse at the custom inlay.

From tip
to tail, this bass is absolutely stunning. That little Ebony and Maple tip may look
fragile, but it is much stronger than the Maple omega tips it protects.

Even though he was in love with our Alchemy inlay pattern, Dave wanted to make his bass a little
more special, so he added this custom inlay at the first fret. This Egyptian eye is inlaid
in silver, mother of pearl and ebony, and looks perfectly at home with the Alembic Alchemy inlays.
