looks Very nice already Mica. I love Ash. Replaced all my internal door mahogany threshold plates with ash a few years ago.

Coming together rather nicely...

 

 

 

  Love the vibrant Purpleheart fingerboard with the starkness of the Ash.

Killer!!!  Love the headstock choice with the body style and the body/fretboard wood selection is sweet.

Thanks for the kind words Mica was a huge help in the design. The headstock is modified from the dragon wing claw headstock. Can't wait to see it when the elbow contour is made. There should be a very nice reveal of mahogany and purpleheart! This bass is the unAlembic Alembic

Is the fretboard purpleherat, or is that just the lighting?

Sweet!!
 
Great choice on the Purpleheart fingerboard. Do I see a single Ebony laminate in the neck recipe? If so .... just wait.

Yes ebony lam in the neck. Same neck as on my custom balance k. Once I heard the sound with the ebony I had to add it to this one!

COOL! That is an awesome wood combination! You'll have to name her Deep Purple!
