OK, I think I've gotten the hang of it now.
 
 

BTW, That's a hippie sandwich (i.e., analogue of the bass body/lam/top) of Swamp Ash (same as the body...Mica sent scraps from my bass over to THG), with a Purpleheart laminate and a Quilted Maple top cap. The position marker is real 12K gold inlayed flush with the wood surface. They're finished in a gloss oil hand-applied finish. I can't wait to see them on the instrument!

Mica: Any news about the flight case and the nut?

Mica,
 
Did you forget about me? I was looking forward to those pix you promised me.
 
Kevin

Sorry Kevin, I try. I don't always make it.  

 

 

  Still waiting on the case. Will call for the ETA in the morn.

Thanks, Mica.  
 
I know that you're extremely busy and that I'm not the only impatient PITA that you have to deal with. Thanks for the nice pix.
 
The bass looks awesome with the new knobs! I'm assuming you got the nut back from the platers and everything is copasetic? As soon as you can let me know about the case ETA, and more importantly, the ETA for instrument shipping, I would greatly appreciate it.  
 
Cheers,
 
Kevin

The nut is now to our satisfaction. The ETA for shipping is entirely dependent upon the day we receive the case. I'll be calling them as soon as they are open.

Mica,
 
Thanks for the (quick) update. You're up bright and chipper this fine AM.
 
K.

That is a sweet Orion and I love the THG Knobs.They really add the right touch to your bass.Congrats.

Dave:
 
Thanks. Yeah, I was hopin' that the knobs would set it off. I didn't know if I suceeded until I saw them on the bass. Looks like I guessed right.

Kevin,
 
Saw this earlier this morning, no time to post, something about 'ethics in the work place...'
 
Hats off to you and Alembic on a beautiful piece of art. When you finally have this baby at home (and after you quit posing in front of the mirror with it draped around your neck and you know you will!  ), please post some pics of the whole enchilada, seeing the bits and pieces isn't doing it for me!
 
congratulations!
 
Mike

Thanks, Mike. I'm dying to see the whole thing myself. Mica is a bit of a Bass Tease: she shows me just enough to get me all worked up, LOL! Seriously though, Mica and Co. surely outdid themselves on this one. I wanted something really nice, and they delivered. Now, I just have to get it delivered, LOL!

Sorry, duplicate post.

This is the first chance I have had to check out your bass with the knobs, very impressive! You already know how I feel about the maple. What an awesome bass, please post pic's as soon as you get it home.
 
Rory

Thanks, Rory.
 
Alembic is still waiting for my flight case. As soon as they get it, I get it. I can't wait. It's been a long seven-plus month wait, but I'm sure it'll be worth every minute.
