boy great job on the layouts...
tell bob i said thank you- to me it all starts with the layout and cutting
the truss rod looks like 2 boobies with the screws on-lol
the controls came out perfect!!!! i need to ask roger if he has enough to make q switches
the back?
so much color/grain variance. the horns...little things like stopping the tummy cut where it is,.
but i gotta say it first- does the center of it remind anyone of a certain part of the female anatomy=or is it my warped perverted mind? feel free to answer yes for both
good thing i didnt name this one FRED...
lol
after careful consideration

Mmm... latkas... starchy... yummy...
 
Scarlet's sure an incredible beauty, and a unique Alembic.  And I love the hard core custom electronics package.
 
Hopefully your finger has healed well, and will be up for the rigors of extensively playing this awesome new bass when it arrives!!!

I'm guessing jaws will be dropping like crazy any time you take Scarlet out of the case  
 
How the heck are you going to decide whether to play the Dire Wolf or Scarlet... Although I bet that's a choice just about anyone here would love to have to make on a daily basis like you're about to!
 
Merry Christmas!

THAT IS A DILEMMA OF HUGE PROPORTIONS.
IF I AM GIGGING OUT- PROBABLY BOTH ALONG WITH BRINKS SECURITY..lol
mica and i were talking about that tonight. wolf is a very special sounding alembic. in micas own words,, everything came together perfectly and it has this particular growl/punch to it. billy lbesq has heard it,  
we always wonder what its gonna end up sounding like. mica does the test drive since its the only 5 string she can play
so figuring this will sound different it will depend on my mood.
but of course this will need a good break in period
mica may send me a high res photo. if any wants to see it- just shoot me an email.
i didnt launch tonight as pauls needed to go out, and had priority today. so maybe tmew, def next wed

This thing is going to be awesome! I didn't know you were getting wood pick-up covers and all these nice knobs, etc.

So be ready on Friday. I'll email you details.

Boy oh boy Jeff! Those pups and truss rod cover look amazing. In fact the whole bass looks so nice I might have to come over there with one of PaulTBO's stockings ;-)
