Why not name it after your wife?And the next after your 1st child and the next after your second child...etc.Ofcourse if you haven't been blessed with children yet then a fretless version named after your mother-in-law will most certainly be in order.

Mike, my biblical scholarship is not great - but I don't remember any Dianas, Ronnies, Cindys or Pattis (or Alembias for that matter). There is, however, a Saint Patricia.

Makes it interesting when one day you say I am going to sell Joy... It would also cause confusion at the dinner table -- since invariably one of my Alembics are with us :-)

Hi Sean,
 
Here's the bass with the first sealer coats:
 

 
The work order is marked for the larger AXY pickups now and Signature electronics, but the project is on hold until you release it with your confirmed revisions.

Thanks Mica -- it's beautiful.  Even better I found out by my wife checking the site and letting me know.
 
I confirm the larger AXY pickups and Signature electronics - please proceed so I can play this work of art :-)

Got it confirmed by email from David as well, so I've released the hold and got it back in track for production. Won't be much to see over the next couple of weeks, just more layers of finish. I'll post more pics when something meaningful happens.

That's an interesting looking speaker cabinet in the background.

Got the bigger pickups:
 

 
The cabinet in the picture is our old Mesa/Boogie Mark I that we're almost done refinishing. I swore it was walnut, but my mom said it was Vermilion. It's been brown as long as I can remember. The original cane front is slightly yellowed, but I think it will look great with the bright  vermilion.

That is one wonderful-looking piece of wood. Can't wait to see it complete the transformation into a bass!

Thanks Mica -- It didn't seem to gobble too much wood in between.  My congrats to the router operator - THAT would make me nervous :-)
 
Looking forward to seeing it post-spray...
 
Peace,
Sean.

[David Houck]

Sean, it is indeed a wonderful looking bass; and I think the larger pickups will look great.
 
Mica; thanks for the info on the Mesa cabinet.  It got me to thinking how neat it would be to see a Vermilion Alembic sitting next to it on stage!

[waggaboy]

Hi Mica, hope you are well...
 
How is progress?  The race continues -- my new Son is up to week 29 -- which I assume means he is through the spray room, has had his hardware fitted and is now waiting for inlay work :-)
 
How is my Rogue progressing?
 
Kind Regards,
Sean.

Hi Mica,
 
Week 33 -- what is the position, progress, etc?  Has the inlay work been done?
 
Kind Regards,

[mica]

Here's a shot of the cross inlay:
 

 
I'll get you one of the dove next week. It's under tape while the bass finishes up in spray.
