Rami not knowing at this writing but, I think this should be the next custom of the month just so all of us can see all the wonderful handwork in the extras on this bass. Good luck and happy gigging my Rogue brother!

Thanks Barry - Mica did mention the possibility!
 
It has alot of cool trick features that you have to see to believe.  The idea for it came from my desire for a fretless version of the Dark Prince (August 2002 FC).  Somehow, Mica and I got to thinking what else can we add to make this one extra special - and Voila!  
 
Dark Prince construction - but fretless, Series II electronics, side LEDs with gold rings, 24 karat gold Alembic logo with Abalone shell, continuous wood everything (Like Dark Prince), and a unique 7 mode selector switch on the power supply.
 
But at this point, I think I'll get as much pleasure from admiring it as playing it.  It's a real work of art.  Thanks Alembic!

Rami, another beaut. Congratulations!

You know... if you're going to keep doing this you have to sell a couple of the others to us. It's an unspoken rule.

Hi Mica/Val,
 
I was wondering if there's any news as to when the case and power supply will be ready.
 
Thanks,
 
Rami

Looking at about a week or so for the power supply, about a week later for the case.

Hi Mica,
 
Any further updates concerning the case and power supply?  Also, any news on those Essence electronics?
 
Thanks,
 
Rami

I'd really appreciate a reply.  This has gone on far too long.

We are just waiting on the case. I spoke with the company that's making it and the designer will return from vacation on the 8th and they will deliver the case the same week. So it looks like delivery will be very soon, finally.  
 
I will email you today to confirm shipping details and we'll get all the arrangements for delivery taken care of this week.

Hey Rami how about some pix?

Joy of joys! The newest case came today, and... it fits great!  Even around the straplocks:

   Here's the little hand access area marked in green:

   And in use:

   The peghead clears the edges and is completely "floating" in the well:

   Body fit:

   Nice accessories compartment with a good latch. You can see the hand access are a little better here:

  Valentino will be back on Monday, and we'll inspect it closely along with Mary's eagle eye. I will call you when it's all packed up to make the final shipping arrangements.

Holy smokes~  the ultimate custom bass resting in the ultimate custom case.
 
I forgot how beautiful this bass was- Congrats Rami and Kudos to the Alembic crew.

I don't know if I'd call Rami's bass the ultimate custom bass just yet - mine's being built! :-)
 
Just kidding - congrats, Rami.  I saw your bass when I visited the Mothership in August, and I must say it's an awesome instrument.  Not something I would play (hell, I have a hard enough time with 4 strings let alone six!), but it is beautiful - incredible woods, and of course, incredible Alembic craftsmanship.  I'm sure she'll bring you many hours of happiness.  
 
Best regards,
 
Alan

Thanks Mica.  It's just awesome!  Way better than the previous one.  
I can't wait for it's arrival and to finally hear it sing!
 
P.S.  I think any one of David Grego's Basses deserve the title of Ultimate Custom.  Where does this guy get his ideas?!!!

Wow.  Words can't do it justice.
