My new Alembic concept coming soon...

[hendixclarke]

Yeah, the brass back plate is an open canvas. I can see adding craving out a stenciled image of the Toma Hawk Icon. Perhaps even a carved image to the point it breaks the walls of the brass. (This would allow air to cool the electronics) However, I would have a screen behind the plate, to keep lent out.
 
In any case, this work (if desired afterwords) would be after this bass was built and delivered with the plates whole.

When are you pulling the trigger and making it happen?

[hendixclarke]

I all ready pulled the trigger... and it's happening...

[hendixclarke]

[hendixclarke]

Clear selector switch knob, on the list...

[altgrendel]

And a Plexiglas body, too?

Altgrendel, just in case you didn't read prior post..  
 
The logic...
 
If it's plastic, I am considering having the parts become translucent plastic, and not colored plastic.  
 
Simple right...
 
Nowhere in this design, I wish to exchange wood or metal components into plastic ie, body neck, bridge, strings etc.  
 
WHY NOT...?
 
Because those parts are not made from plastic.
 
 
I can't even imagine A PLASTIC Alembic Bass.
I would love someone to make one.  
 
Not for me...
 
You had me laughing so hard, I almost fell out of my chair  
 
PLASTIC PARTS: Pickups, Knobs, and selector switches.  
 
Therefore, whether I choose clear plastic parts, or colored ones, (guess what...) they are still plastic.
 
Ok, let me take an official position on the parts...  
 
Oh, I already did...

[altgrendel]

Yes, it was a joke. Glad it made you laugh.

Hey Hal, maybe you could get Alembic to build you a DS5 in a plexi box?  And maybe even the 5-pin cable in clear plastic insulation!  And, of course, you have to get some see-through picks to play with!
 
Bill, tgo

[olieoliver]

LOL, Bloody-Marys for breakfast again Bill?
 
OO
