Yep, that's in inspiration for the tailpiece choice. Thanks to Mica for making that happen.  It's the perfect shape for this bass.

Ha! The large cap one way to deal with the 5-pin output on this bass. I just noticed it when I took the picture, so it's something I have to be aware of when trying to fit a 5-pin in a Stanley bass. In this bass, there's loads of room, so no problem.

How does the cap get used in the 5-pin output? I'm not familiar with how that would be used in the circuit, especially an electrolytic. Is it some sort of on board power supply reserve or anti-ripple device?
 
TIA

I must admit, I have no idea what that thing is......   I'd be interested in learning though! I really should have some basic understanding of what's under the hood :-)

Strings on, pickup ring off (for adjustment)
 

Very nice! The transformation is awesome!  
 
Are the pickups spring mounted? I'm thinking I really should have done mine like this. Adjusting the height is a real PITA.

That piece of Maple is really beautiful .

That came out great!

It looks awesome! I can't wait to hear it!
 
Congrats, Keith! You are going to have years and years of musical joy!

Absolutely Superb !

Further proof that Alembic needs to make a hollow body like this!

That came out great, Keith! Congratulations, and best of luck!

Thanks everyone. I could not be happier!  
I'm flying home today (wish me luck) and will post more pics and details later this evening. It was an amazing trip, and I'm so grateful to Mica and everyone at Alembic for making this dream come true.
