Pictures of its first gig are now over here.
 
I'll add some photos of the bass when I can get some that do it justice.  It's proving insanely difficult to get the lighting right so it looks like it actually does in person.

I believe that looks oustanding.  Where would you stick the LED switch?  Slightly below and between the bass and filter knobs seems like the logical location?
 
That top is looking outstanding!

The interface for the talent knob will make use of bio-metric neural  transducers with  infinite  bandwidth DSP processors that can be controlled via the talent interface pre-set parameter logarithmic  buffer control console .      
 
      All very easily adjustable with the neural command head band control unit remote.  A new Alembic Accessory available some day .  
               Just dreaming _________new stuff ________!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, gentlemen.
 
To be perfectly honest I've spent at least an hour today staring at it.  I am absolutely dying to see the back of the body and neck.

I'd like to know for what does that Knob over the Neck works for... Trussrod Knob, perhaps?
