Hal... I got so excited and anxious when I saw these pics... It actually gave me goosebumps.  
And this bass isn't even going to be mine!
Congratulations, really. Congratulations.
Runner-up for the baddest bass competition. Of course, no one can beat mine...

Wow - AWESOME!  Truly one of a kind!
Nice to see your vision coming together.

[toma_hawk01]

Taylor, thanks for the condolences. I can't believe it man... You said be cool, and you were so right my friend. My nerves are all rattled with positive emotions of joy. It's truly unbelievable.
 
Not even Kanye West could take this moment of happiness from me... Let him try!

[toma_hawk01]

Greg, you still got the baddest bass I ever seen...  
That's real.
 
Enjoy it while it last, because The Toma_Hawk will be coming out to play-eeeee!  
 
Also, I love your music Greg. Thanks for posting it. It was very tasty man.

I just wish my Mom was alive to see this.  
 
You only get a few bright moments in a life time, and this is surly one of them.  
 
You just can't forget moments like this. No way.

Toma_Hawk Spirit #3 frequency with of The Alembic Mothership, was successful. Soul transmission to the Toma_Hawk assembly had finished...
 
Toma_Hawk01, had received 100% of the Red Ship's soul transfer, deep from outer space. The life forces of the Red ship created the pulse of life to the Toma_Hawk01.
 
Only (2) more Toma_Hawk Spirits left, before the Body electric Toma_Hawk can depart the Alembic Mothership, and report for duty in spreading peace and love to the world with low frequencies...

Hal,
 
Congratulations.  I can see that when you have a vision, you pursue it relentlessly into reality.  Despite those who have acted as naysayers to your very personal design, you have maintained a determinedly positive outlook and demeanor.  I applaud your ability to make your ambitions into reality.  Best of health and happiness to you.

Holy Moe.  I am nearly speechless.  This might take the all time cake for combined beauty, originality, and outrageousness.  
 
My only question is whether it will still balance nicely w/ the slightly smaller than normal body.  But then all those S2 electronics will probably even things out

[toma_hawk01]

Kevin, first let me thank you for your kinds words.
 
Secondly, The Toma_Hawk is real now. Everything that was said negatively, is water flowing under the bridge. I hold no grudges.
 
It's a new day, I am staying positive.

[toma_hawk01]

Thanks Paul!
 
I am happy we share tastes in shapes.
 
The Toma_Hawk bass will be balanced. There are no issues of concerns for me.  
 
My current bass is a SI short scale, Short Body, and I love the balance, they are not for everybody. There are people who love Big Omega Bodies, who probably could find issues with my short scale's balance. It comes down to personal preferences.  
 
Strap pins play a big roll in balancing most basses. However, when I play, I normally control the bass with my left hand (holding the neck), and right forearm (holding the body in place).
 
An overly weighted bottom (body) may be ideal to some, but not for me.  
 
The Toma_Hawk is an Alembic Series I with a Master volume.

Very cool....
