sorry hal, i thought you were talking about having alembic build this bass and use your pick up system. guess i misunderstood.

Let me break it down...
 
If making this bass was as simple as discussing the measurements; the wood configurations; the choice of wood types, and assembling the components and slapping pickups on it without my floating pickup system, my bass would had been submitted to Mica by now.
 
With all of the above being equal, I want Alemebic or a choice of other Luthiers, not to be bogged down on my floating pickup design, I want them to only focus on the space required (nothing more is needed).  
 
So, by the time my plans for the Jester bass enters any Luthier's facility, they should focus only on the items required for their service of what I am paying.  
 
With all the correct measurements, when my bass is done, I should be able to pop in my modular floating pickup system in to the required cavity, and it should be able to move and groove just like that.
 
I hope this make better sense. I hate confusion, but someone said:  
 
If you are not confused, you are not thinking hard enough...
 
Peace and love,
 
Hal-

so you basically just want a body? why not order a Warmoth body off their website and just get them to route a pickup cavity to the measurements you send them

Thanks for the tip Tayor, but NO Thanks.
 
By the way, this bass will be a neck-thru bass and presented to Alembic. What else would you expect from a guy like me, something less? (Just kidding...)
 
But I'll say this without kidding:
 
Since the development of my Toma_Hawk, and purposes therein, I had never experienced the flood of support globally.
 
 
Peace and Love,

i feel the added focus on the word no was quite unnecessary and was somewhat aggressive, i'm done here

Design change:

 
For strings tension control, The Jester should have a Bigsby or something similar.  
 
Crown tuned up like Jimi's custom, for just pure attitude.
 
Peace and Love.

I aggressively love Alembic basses...

A Styrofoam who wanted to be the Jester  
 
Simply better than 3D modeling alone, these Styrofoam models are great because they're strong, and yet malleable than wood to finely shape and smooth out.  
 
As all models posted, my floating pickup(s) will be a module device, which fastens from behind the bass and sealed.
 
 
 
 
 
Peace and Love,

An Alembic series pickup...
 

How about a scroll Fiddle head headstock  for the Jester like on a Double Bass ? What do you think Hal ?

Wolf, I could see this working with for aesthetic balance with the bridge and saddle below...
 

 
However, the Jester will be using a Bigsby, thus this would clash considerably.  
 
 
Peace and Love,

Ok , I see what you mean .   Cool !
 
       Sonic Regards !  
   
                Peace and Love here too _______

My 5 year old daughter greeted me this morning with her t-shirt with the symbol of a heart, containing the peace sign.
 
Wolf, that was so wonderful, and after receiving your spirits too...
 
Wolf, that was Sun Shine.
 
Peace and Love my Brother, and to all Alembicans everywhere!
