Pierre-Yves' African Blackwood Custom Series II

[mica]

I wish I knew... some are easy and some are hard. It's a complicated bunch of engineering that my dad does for each one.  
 
If he didn't want them all to come out so good, I'm sure it would go faster. In fact, yours did get to the very minimum acceptable level of noise reduction, but my dad has never left one at the minimum level and he doesn't want to start now. So he's still working on it.

Difficult for me to understand, a sort of Dad's mystery ! Alembic is really the only name for this instrument.

I went through the same period of waiting for calibration. I have to say that it was worth it! This bass is so quiet, even with maximum Q on the filters.

Done.
 

 
Don't worry about the reflections on the finish - they are just that. I promise there is no extra knob on the upper body half.
 
Looks lovely!
 
I will resist the temptation to bring your bass with me tomorrow.

Amazing! Enjoy (and I know you will)!

Very nice, and very classy.  Enjoy it in good health.

[mica]

Done!

Though I still have to ask James to restring for you before we ship it on Monday or Tuesday.  
 
I wish I could have Stanley play this bass. It's the most responsive bass I ever remember hearing. You are going to be able to hear every thing you do on this bass. I love it completely - I just wish I could hear someone better than me play it.

[musashi]

Okay, Mica.  Don't mention gum unless you brought enough to share with everyone...  ;>)

[sonicus]

Very cool, I like the whole recipe!
