OK, its been a few years so its time to do another custom order. This time it is going to be a short scale Darling bass in Cocobolo. the hard part starts now......waiting and waiting and waiting. Thanks to Will Gunn for all the help specing it out.

I'm not sure one can accurately respond to that question since it really depends on the degree to which people customize the instruments they are having built. These options are almost limitless when one works with Alembic. A highly customized instrument is really a work or art and the artwork alone could take months. On the other hand, I ordered a Customized Signature bass and it arrived several months before I actually expected it to receive it.

Hi Mica, a build thread would be great. When do you think i will have some cocobolo samples to look at? A build ETA would be great. Excited for Alembic number 6!

Congrats on the new build!
I was going to say Alembic #6 was already taken, and wanted to link to "The Godfather", but that's actually #7. :o
