Hi Mica.
just got finished placing my order for a rogue through Graham at Bassworld in England and I'd be eternally grateful if you could set up a factory to customer thread once he's spoken to your mum.
here's the spec..
Rogue bodyshape
5 string
lined fretless
*** no inlays ***
34 inch long scale
maple neck with purpleheart laminates
orion inline Peghead
coco-bolo top laminate.    
Bird Tailpiece
 
if possible I'd like a similar colour / finish to that on Seans Custom Rogue.
 
thanks
 
graeme

fyi- it will be a while before they set you up. from another member who was waiting- lol
they will post a ftc when they have something to show- could be a few weeks-
the key- again from someone who experienced this- is patience, patience, patience and most of all -trust
good luck, ps i love seans rogue too

Thanks for trying to cheer me up ;-{ Patience is one thing I've lots of - it's taken me at least a year of sweetening to get mrs j to agree to this.  
BTW. How long after placing your order did it take for The elves at alembic to actually start building your bass?

well jacko - checking back into my history. it was about 5 weeks.it can vary. take this from someone who had gone about this the wrong way at first.  
let them do their thing. trust that they are going to build you one fine axe. alembic is a small shop with a lot of orders. the ftc is a courtesy to us. no-one else does this for their customers. i know its gonna be really hard and you are gonna be chomping at the bit...be patient

Hi Mica, don't want to appear to be a pain but is there any progress on my rogue?

I'd call you Graeme, but I'm not exactly sure how to pronounce it  
 
Your thread (http://club.alembic.com/index.php?topic=7050) isn't much to look at yet, but it's a start.

Thanks mica - means alot to see a work of art progressing, especially when it's for me ;-)
 
Shouldn't the thread be titled 'Rogue for graeme' though ?
 
It's greyum  ;-)
