When I first saw the wood, I thought yuck, but seeing it in context it looks really, really nice.  *Really* nice!

Now it's got some of the finish on it:

There's still the calibration and final inspection to finish, but here's your bass today:

The tape is holding the humcanceller in place until it receives the final approval from my dad.  
 
There are 2 calibrations in front of yours, so for a little while, your bass will just be waiting in line. But you might as well see how it's shaping up!

Hi Mica,
 
Wow, cool!
But will you kindly post some more pics to see peghead with logo and nut?
Thanks for your assistance.

Hi Red Tiger,
 
What is this top wood? It's so beautiful! And what switch did you add?

Really pretty and an amazing sandwich.  I guess mahogany and the switch is for LEDs?

I'm thinking that it's vermillion.
 
That is an amazing bass-congratulations, RT!

I think you are right but I'll put in as stained ash just to thicken the pot-plot.

Paul,
 
If I remember correctly- Alembic doesn't use stains.  They do tint the spray finish (like the cool amber finish on some of the maple tops), but they never stain the wood.
 
Take all of that with a grain of salt- I've been VERY wrong a few times around here.

It's Vermilion - and I'll dash in the setup room later in the week to get you a photo of the peghead too, Shoji.
