Snowflake?!?!

Jeff,
 
Congrats on your new bass.  It looks great!
 
I bought my first Alembic from Greg @ B&B as well.  He's a great guy and he knows a lot about Alembics as well.  I took lessons from him too.  I used to live 5 minutes from B&B.
 
Too bad I moved away.  I could have been there to welcome you into the fold.
 
Enjoy,
Kevin

STill like Snowflake more than Roman Conqueror. It is a name I invented by looking at the wood. There is a kind of lighter burl in the wood that gave me the impression of snowflakes falling in a wood before a net of trees.  
 
Paul the bad one
 
 
yes-yes ...I know it is toooooo poetic for such a bass

Bill, scroll up to just below the photos of the wood.  That will explain Snowflake.

that is so very nice your bass really deserves the featured custom spot because it is just perfect that wood is mesmorising i am sure it will play like a dream so have fun after investing all that time and money it is time to reap the benifits congratulations on our new extended family i am sure your baby daughter is every bit as perfect as your new bass so well done

Thanks Andrew and Sam for the compliments, and I agree with you that the Roman Conqueror is a much better name than Snowflake (sorry Paul, BTW, I absolutlely love the Riff King!).  It is certainly a more masculine reference.  I am catching flak for the name though - Greg at B&B answers my phone calls by proclaiming ALL HAIL CAESAR!
 
Kevin; speaking of Greg, I'm glad to hear that you bought your first Alembic from him at B&B music and that he gave you lessons as well.  He is a great source of Alembic knowledge as a long time Series I owner.  I live over 90 minutes away but that hasn't stopped me from spending a small fortune there.  The fact that there is no sales tax in Delaware is even more incentive to do business with them.  I will see Greg within a couple of weeks to pick up an F1-X and SF-2 and I will tell him what you said.
