I hope the case arrives at Alembic soon.  I would like that very much.

I feel your pain.

Well, the big shipment of cases is here, but no cases for these new trimmed down Series basses. Mary will be modifying another case to fit your bass (and a couple of others waiting). It's likely that we'll be shipping your bass out on Monday or Tuesday, and we will call you to confirm you'll be there ready to receive. The waiting is almost over.

Thanks Mica,
 
If you don't mind my asking, what do you mean by modify?
 
To tell the truth, I am not impressed with the case that came with the MK to begin with, it began falling apart from day one (inside & out), so a modification might not make things much better.
 
What are the alternatives:
 
- A modified case
- Wait for the new case from the factory
- A flight/road case
 
If a road case is the best alternative, then I insit we begin the ordering process immediately.
 
I will call before 4pm PST to discuss further.
 
Thanks again,
 
Kevin

This is more of an update for the rest of the Club, since I spoke with Kevin a little while ago. We'll be sending the bass out in a modified case on Monday or Tuesday.  
 
To modify, we rip out the original plush covered forms and then make a new form and cover with plush. These are glued in the same way the case makers does it. Sort of a pain, but it gets the job done and we won't be waiting.
 
We've made a tracing of the body to keep on file to get a flight case made for the bass in the near future.

Yeahhh Team!!!!
 
I hope you folks at Alembic have good fitting shoes to avoid blisters from all the times you go the extra mile.

Thank you so much Mica for taking time on Friday afternoon to speak with me.
 
Here I am worring about a modification made by Alembic. Having Alembic modify the case will make it a better case then the original case manufacturer could do.  Silly me.
 
In about a month will begin the flight case.
 
Thanks again Mica.

Good Morning everyone at Alembic.

Keep me posted via email.
 
Thanks,

This is getting really tough.  I don't mean to be a throne, I know, it will get here when it gets here.

I understand, you can _almost_ taste it! You're going to see it on Friday. I will email you the tracking number privately so you can track its progress.
