Thanks Hal, I wish I coluld take credit for it but that goes to Alembic.  
Is the Toma_Hawk beyond the planning yet and into the creating stage? Should make for a very watched and interesting FTC thread.
 
That's ironic, I watched Speed Racer the movie Suday night on cable. Totally didn't get it either. Reminded me nothing of the old Speed when I was a kid.
 
OO
Go Speed Racer....GooOO

I am waiting to see your wonderful bass FLAX.
 
I am sure it will be way better than my chum-bucket concepts.
 
God Bless you too.

Such lovely basses.  
 
So Flax, are these basses your original concept basses? If so, they're beautiful and you are a genus.

Personally, even if they aren't Flax's original concept basses, I still think they are beautiful.
 
Bill, tgo

ok wiseass
the tribute bass was my idea and i personally asked susan to make it for me while they were making wolf.
The electronics are my own design. so are the neck dimensions and string spacing, the pickup placement was mine and rounding off the corners of the saddles was something i came up with
 
You dont need a new body design to have an original thought.  
 
oh direwolf- it was the first 5 string with the omega cut out and wolf inlay, again the controls were determined by me after we came to agreement on the design-oh and let me know if you see another tailpiece like that one on an alembic. but what the heck  
 
it was only a custom of the month- so what do i know?
 
the classico? you have a problem with that because its not an original concept?
 it just happens that it may be the best sounding classico they ever built according to ron.  
 
btw- i have seen and heard some of the alembicians custom concepts while at the factory- a couple of them looked great but sounded awful- although they were still better than a fender... who's to say that by reducing the size of this supposed bass order, you arent gonna kill some of its sound? im just wondering out loud
 
Basses are like women= you can find yourself a beauty-- but when she opens her mouth she gets real ugly real quick
then there's the woman who doesn't look the hottest. but when she opens her mouth, you find a soul that runs deep and true.

Hey Flax, are you a genus or merely a species?
 
hehehehe
 
Bill, tgo

Hey, I was thinking the same thing Bill. Got to be genus, as his three Alembics are species on there own.
