Eduardo,
 
I thought you might had received you bass by now, because sometimes Mica just have them shipped off after she speaks with the owners -- so, you'll never know...  
 
However, that's great news to know your bass is about 1 week away from the finish line.  
 
I will always remember your bass through the months and the 4 seasons of development. Since my bass followed yours, there's no-way I'll ever forget.
 
If your bass is done in one week, then I am really excited, because according to Mica, my bass is next.  
 
I can't wait to hit the road, to Santa Rosa and congratulate everybody for doing an outstanding job!
 
Peace and Love,
 
Hal-

Oh yes, it's like 2 babies who were born at the same hospital on the same week...  
So you are going to Santa Rosa personally to pick it up? Lucky you! Well if my bass happens to be there tell Mica to call me 202 445 3441 I will give full green light for you to try my bass. If the bass has already been shipped then I will get you a sound clip.
If you Type  Lalo Garcia bass in  YouTube you shoul see a couple of videos of me, one has a bass solo played on a Spector, I want that sound but even brighter...
I am having anxiety attacks!
All the bass
Lalo Garcia

Eduardo,  
 
Oh my goodness, you are so right. It does feel like going to the hospital... (I know, been there twice)  
 
Yes, I live about 2 hours from Santa Rosa and I been there before and had coffee. I love those guys over there. They are family period. I will always honor them, and do good by them as I try with my own family.
 
Seeing you bass in person, would be a huge treat, but I don't want to make my Toma_Hawk jealous, so if it's there, I'll just look-but-don't-touch as I look at all the beautiful ladies while on vacation.  
 
If you were there in Santa Rosa, I would be honored to kick back, and watch you play the heck out of my Toma_Hawk.  That would be OK with me my friend.
 
I know what you mean, when you say anxiety... (believe me I do...). But frankly, our basses are in the best place in the business, so I have absolutely no farther questions at all. (The question periods are over and done, I am sold...)
 
In the mean-time, I'll wait for that faithful day to hit the streets of Santa Rosa with the joys of picking up a new friend. However, if I see your bass, I would still call you, and tell you just how beautiful Spooky is in person... That would be a double treat!!!
 
Peace and Love,
 
Hal-

Nice job Lalo.
The tapping part was especially tasty!

Hi
thanks buddy there is some imperfections but I still like it this was back in 2003.  
I like the sound of a maple board, and my favorite Spector is a 1978 birch ns 2 (very rare!!) that bass is pictured at the Spector website:

I am the 8th player under Lalo Garcia  counting from the bottom of the page....
 
I want Alembic construction with Alembic electronics, with birch body and maple board , only Alembic could do that for me, so I didn't mind the investment, this time I wanted the best!!

Gearing up to ship this out on Monday:

Sounds great! I had fun playing this bass today after Kent and his amazing son Josh stopped by. Your bass got a little attention from both of them as you can probably imagine.

Thanks Mica! And thanks to every one for the kind words ... Any body with a little bit of bass knowledge can tell this is an Alembic just within seconds of looking at this bass....not even tiger woods has such a beautiful blonde!!!

Looks like it picked up an extra knob since the 12/29 pic. LED dimmer?

Yes u have good eyes my friend that is a dimmer...
There is nothing more sexy than being alone with a blond like this and controlling the dimmer! There also 6 more knobs on the back of the bass (Sic!!!)

Those knobs look like semisweet chocolate chips, like I love them...
