The logo looks very nice and unique; the shell behind the Alembic looks mysterious with its layers.

Lots of really nice elements to this bass - love the bookmatch to center (I think that's what it's called), though I also love the mahogany neck laminates. And the black hardware!

Here's a bonus shot of the logo before the bass was completed:
 

 
The colors are very dynamic.

Beautiful shot of the logo!  The layers in the shell suggest the elements within the Alembic before they come together in alchemy.

I think that's the most beautiful logo I've seen. The shell choices are perfect!

+1 on the logo
My personal favourite is the black hardware
but the instrument as a whole is simply.........
 
BEAUTIFUL!

The shell choice used in the cloud portion is unreal! It really looks like there is storm happening if you look closely.  
 
Great work!

Wow, Mica, that inlay looks like a storm building over the seas off of Hawai'i.  What a stunner!
