Close up of the main parts of the hardware.
 
Very irritating strange colorshift on the strings, have NO idea how to fix it.

Rob,
Have you done anymore work on this one? It would be really cool to see it finished!

Kris,
I haven?t gotten any updates from Rob.
Could be that I will order this bass matching to Tears for John....

Busy week, sorry Oliver. Also, found that I have to resize the body, the scale seems to be 33.75 (ooops).
 
Quick one for Rami: better shape? (parallel necks)
 

 
Maybe move the right neck further into the body. (so that the peghead tips aren't so different in height)

Second version.

That's just beautiful Rob.  Although I'd rather the necks, pickups and hardware line up.  I like the look of the 12 string headstock extending past the 6.  I'd also try to narrow the body sides a bit.
 
I'll just keep buying those lottery tickets!

How about an Alembic 6 & 12 Doubleneck based on a small standard or tribute body shape with Alembic Crown headstocks?  Now THAT would just be WAY TOO COOL!  
Something to REALLY put the Gibson EDS-1275 to shame.  It should be named the RS-1276 (the RS being my initials - of course!).

This is an expensive thread to watch!

I wonder how a tribute would look with an extended upper horn. (for balance reasons)
 
Or the small standard with the upper horn from a rogue.....time to start hunting good pictures.
Rami, start buying extra lottery tickets.

No, keep the upper horns original.  The Gibson EDS-1275 has short horns with the strap button behind the heel of the upper neck.  I don't mind the neck-dive.  I understand that the small standard body and the Tribute are both indirectly influenced by the Gibson SG design.

A quickie using an image from this ( http://www.alembic.com/info/fc_fittingtribute.html ) as base. I squeezed the body together a little. (original picture on the left)
