The Green ship is 4 of 5 of the Great Spirits of the Toma_Hawk bass; to return yet again, in a different form...

Have a safe journey home Green Ship, for you had barely survived this journey to serve all of human kind, for fear, and doubt tried to prevent and defeat your important cause. We learned greatly that mistakes were ours. As you return home, your works will be honored forever.

Post by: toma_hawk01 on October 03, 2009, 06:13:08 PM: The Spirit #5 (Blue Ship) peacefully, and successfully breaks contact with the Mothership Alembic. The Blue Ship's spirit transfer to the Toma_Hawk Bass was deem 100% complete.

This will be the last of the 5 Spirits of the Toma_Hawk bass, for there will be no more. These peace living ships will always be remembered with every musical note which comes from the Toma_Hawk bass, and over for many humanoid life-times beyond, with the proper feeds and low frequencies, our friendly ships will indeed return again but in a totally new form.

The message was:

Peace, Love, and Hope to repeat Peace, Love, and Hope to Repeat... into Infinity Peace, Love...

And if one forget, look onto the shape, in the stars of the shape that pleases you the most, and hope others to do the same.

Toma_Hawk Ship #5.

Title: Hendixclarke = Toma_Hawk-01
Post by: toma_hawk01 on November 12, 2009, 09:48:56 PM: Thanks Tod,

I will surly be in good company with my Shorty and (Tommy) Toma_Hawk.

I'm sure I'd will be amazed with great interest and sincere anticipation and fulfillment once I get my hands around the Alembic Toma_Hawk.

As with any new Alembic, this is to be expected, especially for anyone who waited patiently for their definition of what a bass is...

But, as with anything, the highs and newness wears down, (thank God) and back to normal. I don't like being in the state of newphoria for too long, it blurs my senses, timing and my psyche.

So, once the Toma_Hawk high is over, I will return back to my Shorty which is very sensible.

Post by: otis on June 30, 2010, 05:50:49 PM: Hal,

That's an awesome picture. Any chance of some close-ups of that beauty?

How are you liking the Toma-Hawk? What are the differences in tone, from your maple shorty to the TH?

Very interested to hear your thoughts/observations.

If I ever find a pile of cash laying around, I'm going to have a Series II 6 Built with either a quilted Coco-Bolo Top & Back, or possibly Redwood... It will for sure have at least 3 Ebony neck lams- I loved the sound of my Thunderstick with those ebony lams, it was devastating! Not sure what other woods other than a Vermilion core...

Peace;)

Frank

ps- I'm going to email you a few raw tracks from our recent recording, back in April. It's for the new OTiS CD. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the new material, raw though it is...

I wish you and your family a joyful and successful year .
Title: Hendixclarke = Toma_Hawk-01
Post by: toma_hawk01 on February 04, 2011, 08:19:31 AM: Thank you Wolf.

It was the month of February,
when I got married to my wife
18 years ago...

It was the month of February,
when my youngest child was born
and filled our home with joy,
love and laughter...

It was the month of February,
when Mica handed me my Toma_Hawk Bass...

However, non of this would be
possible without the fight for
justice, and equality in this
country, and this is why I take
this month to honor African
American heros and S'heros for
their contributions which I am
honored deeply, and it beautiful
indeed.

So, with holding the Toma_Hawk in one hand, I raise my tiny fist in the air and say (like
the brothers in the West Coast said...):
Power to the People!!!

and may you Celebrate African American History with your family, because you will never know real history, with only His-Story.

Lastly, my 1 year warranty on my Toma_Hawk, is almost up...

No worries

Peace and Love,

Hal-

I shall be looking for it on the market!

(Can you lease a bass?)
