LOVE the five interlocking logos!  
 
By the way, I'm putting all my Alembics up for sale - I picked up this sweet MIM Squire Strat.

Awesome!
 
Where can I get one of those Olympic basses?
 
Are they as good as Alembics?

Congrats to the committee on their new bass!  I'm wondering how the Olive wood used for the humx coil in the pickups will affect the tone.

One of my buddies just texted me after seeing this on Facebook and told me:Dude I told you it was Olympic, you keep calling it wrong :/
Thanks Mica, you just ruined years of hard work trying to correct people hahaha.

Glad you guys enjoyed it! It's always fun to think up these things.  
 
Paul-the secret inlay is just what we call an inlay on the back of the peghead.

I want to buy, this item. is available, yes? I have checks drawn on account in offshore accounts and can pay twice the asking amount if you kindly refund extra money but keep half yourself for your trouble. Please ship to undisclosed location ASAP. We await to hear back with email reply.
