I just love walnut. This is going to look really special when the finish hits.

Hi Terry; congrats and welcome to the board!

Thank you for the warm welcome.
This is very exciting to watch this process.
I will practice patience.
Alembic is THE LEGEND in the art of guitar building.
You are nothing short of being great Artist.
I am a huge fan of Stanley Clark and Mark King and they are huge fans of Alembic. That says something!

I would like to size the neck down a bit. I spoke with Susan about this. I would like to narrow the neck at the nut to the 1.65 and taper it like a Stanley Clark bass. I know you need more info. Please call me at your nearest convenience. I would also like to discuss the color of the mahogany back. Can this be darkened a little? I would like it darker if possible so that the back isn't too far off from the color of the walnut front. The maple neck color is fine as is.

Mica,
 
I picked out the wood and expressed that in an email to you. Has there been any progress in building my bass guitar yet?
I would love any pictures you may have.
Susan said the neck had been in building process for a few days now. Can you send pics of it also.
Thanks

PLEASE DISREGARD MY MESSAGE ON AUGUST 31, 2009 @ 4:19PM

Hi Terry; I'm assuming from your post in the Build Record section that you've discussed this with Susan and that your disregard post here is just to avoid any future confusion.  If not, and given your statement that Susan says the neck is in the build process, then if you're canceling a neck size change, you should probably call.

Dave, I started over with a deluxe MK bass. It has a different neck size. I talked to Susan about this and I believe we are all on the same page.
Thanks for you concern, I appreciate that.
The message posted on August 31st. was about the 1st bass being built and it was a MK standard. There is a new quote and we are moving forward with the MK deluxe model. Thanks

Here's the wood choices for the now Signature Deluxe bass we're building for Terry:  

 

  These bookmatches are going to look so cool when the finish hits, I can hardly wait!

Oh yes !
