Having fun with textures... learning how to get reflective surfaces. WIP.
 

 
Can anyone tell me what the font is that is used on the pickups?

Rob,
really cool. Thank you very much!!!!
As said, Mica is working on an estimate for me for this beast.
 
Many thanks my friend

Wow Rob!  For a guy who doesn't play an instrument, you're a very talented guy.  It's been really exciting to watch an idea come to life. It's just spectacular.
I really hope you do in fact build this Oliver.  It'll become a Alembic classic.

Trying not to blush ... ;-)

Rami,
yes Rob has really done an awesome work.
I am waiting on an estimate from Mica on this and then I think I have to put out the stockings for a bank robbery...... :-)
But you are right, this could be a new Alembic classic......

The logo isn't a font, it's hand drawn letters. But there are some fonts that resemble it closely (myfonts.com is always a good resource).
 
I've already given Oliver the rough estimate for this build (about the price of 2 Dragon Wing basses). It shouldn't be too much longer to work up an official detailed quote.

Thanks Mica. Do You have a large resolution image of the logo? I can work from that.
 
Latest rendering.... strange... it's less space between the neck pickup and the neck than on the images of Oliver's DW!?!? Must have gotten some measurement wrong.

Rob,
here are the sizes for the oval fingerboard inlays for the 8string neck:
3rd fret     Length  2,2cms    Width (at broadest point)  1,6cms
5th fret    Length   1,8cms    Width  1,3cms
7th fret     Length  1,5cms    Width  1,1cms
9th fret     Length  1,25cms  Width  0,9cms
12th fret   Length  3,4cms    Width  1,0cms
15th fret   Length  1,85cms  Width  1,0cms
17th fret   Length  1,6cms    Width  0,75cms
19th fret   Length  1,25cms  Width  0,7cms
21st fret   Length   0,9cms    Width  0,5cms
24th fret   Length  1,2cms     Width  0,4cms
 
Can you work with these?

Mica,
will send you an email later today for a definite estimate with all the details and specs I want to have on the DDW.
 
Many greetings from sunny Germany

Oliver, perfect man. That will do.
 
Have to find a material that looks good, there ain't no MOP texture in AutoCAD.

senmen

Rob,
thank you so much.
Have just sent a mail to Mica and Susan rgdg a definite estimate.
So I hope we can turn this beast into reality (and you will have fun with this too)
Cheers

Rob,
you are quick as hell. A real CAD master.
BTW I have decided only to take three stringers for the neck throughs as on my DW Tears for John.
Cheers

Considering that You are getting this as a double of the bass You already have, I understand that.
 
Do You mind if I keep the fading out PH lams on the renderings?
I think the three simple ones look ... boring.

rob_the_fiend

Mica. What are the diameters of the drills used to make the pockets for the string ends in the tailpiece?
Do you use the same size when it's a octave tailpiece?
 
And what is the stringspacing between bass and octave string. Thanks.
