Hi Mica, again such a beautiful instrument.  My only slight concern is that I cant see the purple heart to match with my Walnut SCSII?  Or am I missing something?
Peace Mike

Hmm don't want to alarm you mike but it looks like it's a maple accent with a purpleheart and maple pinstripes. Great lookin bass though.

Hi Bassjgga, yes you are right.  I did not define in the specification so my problem however I am sure the bass will look beautiful and sound amazing.  I think also the maple will help with the highs for when I give her a good slap, so maybe alls well that ends well :-) Have a great New Year to you and all the Alembic family.
Peace
Mike

My Triple O had a factory to customer thread and is in the UK (as am I). Never made COTM though....
 
Nice bass Mikeyz. You're in the NW? So am I, near sunny old Blackpool....

Hi Bill
All the best for 2007, thanks for your kind words.  I am short scale convert and as a result selling all my other basses to fund these two projects.  Yes the final chapter in finding a bass that really fits in all departments.
So it looks like we have a NW Alembic chapter.  I live on the Wirral.
Peace
Mike

Spotted in the setup room:

 

 

Hi Mica, as my son would say OMG.  However I would say Oh My Guitar :-)  You guys just keep turing the excitment volume up a notch with each day.  This bass is just beautiful, I consider myself as a very fortunate musician to own such craftsmanship.
Peace
Mike

Also awaiting the calibration, both should be finished at the same time:
 

Hey,
 
That might be mine to the left!  If so, good sign. Did she make it out of the hall, Mica?
 
And: killer bass! Love the Series II Small Standards.
 
Bradley

Sorry Bradley, to the left is Michael's other bass with a Walnut top and back. Yours will be getting out of the hall right after Bill's does, that's the current lineup.

I so wish that my neck could cope with the balance issues of the small standard body. I love the way they look. Beautiful bass!!!
 
I must say actually that my old SC was the best playing bass I've ever owned, and had fantastic depth of tone too (which sets me wondering, has anyone ever ordered a short scale Triple O)?
 
Best of luck with your projects Mike!

Hey, as long as we're playing is that mine,  is that mine to the right?  I'm looking at closeu[p of the front.

You are correct, George. Bob is getting 3 sets of custom bridges and tailpieces ready, including yours.

Guys, thanks for the kind words.  Yes the SC is a top bass and I am really looking forward to getting my Coco and Walnut.
Peace
Mike
