That is sure gonna be one dramatic looking bass with that slab of CB on the top.

More good news!  Here's your bass in the big clamps:

  And out of the big clamps, with some rough shaping:

  There's that little stripe of Vermilion:

  Plus some scraps I found that must surely be from your bass:

Wow... after the wait, that first picture of an assembled and shaped body would bring a tear to my eye. Heck, when I saw it I got a bit choked up!

Very nice,  This will really be Awesome when done .______ I wonder if there has ever been a 34 inch scale version of an Alembic bass with this kind of  Violin shape ? I have wondered that before. Kind of like a Gibson EB-1 shape but built Alembic style with a neck through design with Series Electronics . You could wear it on a strap .  Fretless as well ____ Anybody know ? HMMMMMM____

Interesting idea sonicus that would look so cool a bit like an Alembic Beatle bass. :-)
