I'm thinking that it's vermillion.
 
That is an amazing bass-congratulations, RT!

I think you are right but I'll put in as stained ash just to thicken the pot-plot.

Paul,
 
If I remember correctly- Alembic doesn't use stains.  They do tint the spray finish (like the cool amber finish on some of the maple tops), but they never stain the wood.
 
Take all of that with a grain of salt- I've been VERY wrong a few times around here.

It's Vermilion - and I'll dash in the setup room later in the week to get you a photo of the peghead too, Shoji.

Actually Toby, I appreciate it very much. It's more information that I didn't know. I like learning in here.
 
Thanks buddy!

Hi Mica,
 
Hope you still remember my request for more pics of the peghead. Because, I'm eager to see that to see if it's completed as ordered before shipment from the factory.

Your bass is in the final calibration area, so we're nearly done now. Here's the back of the bass:

Mica,
 
Thanks for the cool pics!!!
Looks really amazing, but just one question for you.
Is that the Solid 14K Gold logo and script that I ordered? I paid extra for it, but cannot find out any script on it.

We'll get the script added before the bass ships.

Hi Mica,
 
Lately I'm wondering when my bass will be shipped.
