The retail price of a Sterling these days is 30,000$. The inlay alone is 12,000, and that is a non-discountable item. A flight case is included and you get to add an inlay of your choice at the first fret.
The remaining burl rosewood pieces are ONLY available for the Sterling basses.
Those look every bit as good as the featured custom one. The pieces have not been cut and sanded down yet, and will not be cut until we start building the bass they'll go on. Colorwise they are the same.
The instrument we are building for Stanley is to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Alembic/Stanley Clarke association. It's really quite gorgeous, but it's not going to be a production model; it's got quilted coco bolo top and back, ebony neck lams, and a dragon inlay. Of course, if you want one just like it, we can build it for you but we have little quilted coco bolo left; we'd have none if not for the fact that our wood supplier found another small board that he had left out of the original shipment.
