Rory's Quilted Maple Custom

Somehow I have a feeling you'll get over the jitters pretty quick!  It's an awesome instrument, it'll give you all the courage you'll need.
 
Evan sold me the Persuader, he answered every question that I could come up with, and a few I hadn't thought of.  A very nice man indeed.
 
Enjoy

Rory,
 
I really like the quilted maple top that you have selected.  It has that three-dimensional, puffy-cloud-like quality that makes you want to touch it.  Very nice.

Thanks for the compliment on the quilted top. I had an idea of what I was looking for and to be able to choose it in person was great. I am waiting to get my new bass started which will be Coco Bolo and Vermillion. I can't wait to get this one home!

This bass is on its way to the dealer, but I know you want to get a peek of what you'll be getting to play very soon:
 

I know you are going to love it!

Killer bass Rory! I must have missed in the thread the discussion about the extra switches. What do they do for you?

Rory,
 
Enjoy!
 
One day I hope to know the pain of waiting and pleasure of being a part of the building process and owning a custom Alembic of my own....  Hell, it was hard enough to wait for UPS from Texas for my Skylark and 3 whole weeks for the Persuader...  I know if and when I order a custom, I'll be a basket case....  I don't know how you do it.    
 
But I'm willing to find out.....

Rory,
 
  As they used to say back when Alembic was first starting out, Far Out Man!!!!  Quilted maple is my favorite.  I love the 3-D quality.  How many A's is yours?  (It hurts to type A's as I live in Oakland and have sitting in my office play-off and World Series tix that I won't be using this year.  Oh well, the $ I save will now go towards a guitar.)  Enjoy your bass.  (I know you will)

Hey Guys
 
It should arrive tomorrow I hope! Let's see, there is a bass cut and boost, treble cut and boost and Q switch for each pickup! There is also a switch for those awesome blue LED's. It has 5A front and 3A back and as for the Oakland A's, I live in Oakland as well! Now the waiting begins for my 6 string custom. Thanks guys for all the compliments.

You live here too!  We should get a bay Area Alembic club jam going sometime.  I've got a rehearsal studio.
