Post by: lidon2001 on July 04, 2015, 11:03:09 AM: So nice to see this. It's about time.

I am only aware of 4 Alembics with Amboyna. Pele, my custom Essence, COTM 11/2002 Autumn Delight, which Mica claimed was mislabeled in the write up, and the 5 string Essence in the picture section. There may be others that are below the radar, but still a very unique choice.

Let the wait begin. Congratulations.

Mighty fine! Can't wait to see how this shapes up as a bass.

Stunning wood. Just amazing.

Post by: charles_holmes on July 23, 2015, 08:59:11 AM: I totally agree with Mr. Edwin in that I thought it was pizza! I can't wait to see this when finished. Yowser, Yowser, Yowser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mucho Kudos!!!

Post by: charles_holmes on August 19, 2015, 04:44:32 PM: Any new developments with your bass Jerry? Any photos?!!
Title: And so it begins...
Post by: stout71 on August 20, 2015, 07:39:37 AM: There have been developments, but they are minor so far. I picked out the back piece and I am told the neck lams were selected. Maybe an FTC thread will be started soon, but I'm guessing it will be at least several more weeks.

I'm referring to it as Mystic Pizza (anyone that grew up in the 80's will probably get the reference) based on everyone's initial reactions. Now pizza is all I can think of when I see it!
