Just a small side point... Featured Custom is not supposed to be a competition. I happen to agree that this one is sufficiently unique that it would provide a great example of the kinds of things Alembic can do, and my guess is it most likely will show up there eventually.
But at the same time, you could just as well go to the Alembic Store page, pick out a standard model on which they'd used some special wood or perhaps thrown in a small electronics upgrade, and justifiably feature it.
And I recall a conversation last fall with Mica (Susan may have also been there, I forget), in which one of the considerations was that it might be nice to feature something with fall colors around Thanksgiving (aka Autumn's Delight), and perhaps a hint of green around Christmas (Flight of Fancy)... so the selection of the winner may be a bit more subjective or obscure than you might imagine.
All I'm suggesting is that while enthusiasm and excitement is great, it would perhaps be a mistake (for any of us) to open the door to even the slightest potential for disappointment - feeling that your bass is somehow less worthy, or your love for it any less - if it didn't happen to get featured. They're all pretty amazing instruments, and only so many months in a year.
(On the plus side, of course, it does save you the trouble of posting pictures yourself...).
