Hey Mark - here's your next beauty:  

 

  I know palembic for one will be lusting after this bass. It's like a Mini-Marilyn.  Let me know if you still want the light amber tint on this one.

Ha! I knew there eventually would be another 3/4 Balance Omega bodied Alembic made! It's a stunning shape - if I ever get lucky (read: well-off) enough to order a custom-made Alembic, it's gonna have this body design. Beautiful, just beautiful...

Stunning.
I'll do the same when ordering in my next life!
Although I'll stay with Black/red Cocobolo and definitely bookmatched to center.
 
Has this the same longer upper horn as that other one (Kevin's?????)

This is not the best shot, the lighting was poor, but at least you get to see it all together.
