I saw the new black today - but when I returned with my camera to the shop, it was already sanded and prepped for the next coat of spray. I may be coming in on Sunday, in which case I will get to sneak a picture for you. Otherwise, I'll leave a note so that I can actually catch it before prepping!

Thank you, Mica!

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?

Wow!
Another black quilted maple! Sooooooo cool!
Congrats, very nice bass!!!
Cheers!

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.  

 
 
Happy Thanksgiving, Alembic family!

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

Please pictures please?  It would make us exceptionally happy.  Like a christmas wish come true!

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!

The shell and logo are exceptional!

I love that headstock shape on an Essence  and the Alembic Logo is Beautiful and stunning .
