I just wish my Mom was alive to see this.  
 
You only get a few bright moments in a life time, and this is surly one of them.  
 
You just can't forget moments like this. No way.

Toma_Hawk Spirit #3 frequency with of The Alembic Mothership, was successful. Soul transmission to the Toma_Hawk assembly had finished...
 
Toma_Hawk01, had received 100% of the Red Ship's soul transfer, deep from outer space. The life forces of the Red ship created the pulse of life to the Toma_Hawk01.
 
Only (2) more Toma_Hawk Spirits left, before the Body electric Toma_Hawk can depart the Alembic Mothership, and report for duty in spreading peace and love to the world with low frequencies...
 

Hal,
 
Congratulations.  I can see that when you have a vision, you pursue it relentlessly into reality.  Despite those who have acted as naysayers to your very personal design, you have maintained a determinedly positive outlook and demeanor.  I applaud your ability to make your ambitions into reality.  Best of health and happiness to you.

Holy Moe.  I am nearly speechless.  This might take the all time cake for combined beauty, originality, and outrageousness.  
 
My only question is whether it will still balance nicely w/ the slightly smaller than normal body.  But then all those S2 electronics will probably even things out

Kevin, first let me thank you for your kinds words.
 
Secondly, The Toma_Hawk is real now. Everything that was said negatively, is water flowing under the bridge. I hold no grudges.
 
It's a new day, I am staying positive.

Thanks Paul!
 
I am happy we share tastes in shapes.
 
The Toma_Hawk bass will be balanced. There are no issues of concerns for me.  
 
My current bass is a SI short scale, Short Body, and I love the balance, they are not for everybody. There are people who love Big Omega Bodies, who probably could find issues with my short scale's balance. It comes down to personal preferences.  
 
Strap pins play a big roll in balancing most basses. However, when I play, I normally control the bass with my left hand (holding the neck), and right forearm (holding the body in place).
 
An overly weighted bottom (body) may be ideal to some, but not for me.  
 
The Toma_Hawk is an Alembic Series I with a Master volume.

Very cool....

OH yeah!

Talking about balance... Wich Neck Shape it will have?

Love the vermillion, good choice.

The Toma_Hawk Short Scale Neck  
 
Neck Measurements:
Nut width = 1.60 in
 
1st Fret Thickness = 0.80 in (Flat neck where the thumb is positioned  to fingerboard)
 
17th Fret Thickness = 0.96 in (Flat neck where the thumb is positioned  to fingerboard)
 
24th Fret width = 2.15 in
 
 
Broomstick Quick!

I love it- I wasn't a big fan of the body shape when I first saw it in your photo renderings, but seeing the bass in the last set of photos has changed my mind.  I love the sharp upper horns and the symmetry of the bass.  
 
Well done!

What an original bass (and that is quite a compliment cosidering the each an every Alembic bass is different)

Simply Breathtaking Hal Holy S#%!!!!!! I can't get over how nice a bod shape you have designed. I knew it was gonna be purdey but that is awesome!! Lucky man you are.

Hal,
well this turns out to be a cool and unique bass!
