Now your bass is in the final curing stage of finish:

Every time I see one of these with finish on, the difference to the unfinished top is astounding. Fantastic figuring!

Hi Mica

Happy new Year!
Tried to contact you via email, but probably your spam filter eats my emails.

So, what is the status of the Bass?

Best regards,
Ivan

Hi Ivan,

I've been waiting to hear back from you. You obviously didn't get the last email I sent that had this picture in tow:

and a price for adding the engraving on the truss rod cover. For the design and the labor, the cost is $400. The next available time to get this work done is the end of February, though we would work the design out much earlier than that.

If you want to proceed with the engraving project, there's two ways to go about it:

1. Send you the bass now and send the engraved plate later.

2. Wait until the engraving is complete and send the bass to you with the plate installed.

You may also decide to keep the standard plate, in which case we can make arrangements to ship your bass next week.

Let me know what you want to do.

Wow! I love the color and contrast of the top!

Hi Mica

Thank you very much for the update :-) This is great news.
The bass looks fantastic. Cant wait to have it in my hands, so I think I will postpone the engraving and take the bass now :-)
I have a few ideas of my own about what I would like to have engraved. But I would like to first have the bass in my hands and then try to come up with something that will go with the bass. As soon as I have something on paper, I will contact you.

Many thanks to you and the whole Alembic team, for making such a great and beautiful instrument.

Best regards
Ivan

My emails do not seems to be getting through to you, Ivan. In may last one, I asked that you send me your shipping address exactly as it should appear on the shipping label. I'll be on the lookout for it and let you know when I receive your reply. We should be able to ship within a couple of days from then.
