Hal's Future Jester Bass

[toma_hawk01]

Design change:

For strings tension control, The Jester should have a Bigsby or something similar.  
 
Crown tuned up like Jimi's custom, for just pure attitude.
 
Peace and Love.

I aggressively love Alembic basses...
 
 
Peace and Love,

A Styrofoam who wanted to be the Jester  
 
Simply better than 3D modeling alone, these Styrofoam models are great because they're strong, and yet malleable than wood to finely shape and smooth out.  
 
As all models posted, my floating pickup(s) will be a module device, which fastens from behind the bass and sealed.
 
 
 
 
 
Peace and Love,

An Alembic series pickup...

How about a scroll Fiddle head headstock  for the Jester like on a Double Bass ? What do you think Hal ?

Wolf, I could see this working with for aesthetic balance with the bridge and saddle below...
 

 
However, the Jester will be using a Bigsby, thus this would clash considerably.  
 
 
Peace and Love,

My 5 year old daughter greeted me this morning with her t-shirt with the symbol of a heart, containing the peace sign.
 
Wolf, that was so wonderful, and after receiving your spirits too...
 
Wolf, that was Sun Shine.
 
Peace and Love my Brother, and to all Alembicans everywhere!

A size perspective...

  Smoothing, and rounding off the Styrofoam  

  Peace and Love,  Hal-

After 9 months, this bass is measured to the T.  
 
I can't wait to select the wood and all the natural colors supporting the configurations.  
 
 
Peace and Love,
 
Hal-
