WOW!!!!!!!!
 
This is the first time I ever laid eyes on the back side of the Toma_Hawk, and it looks absolutely Amazing. Oh my goodness!
 
Thank you again Mica for this very wonderful picture. Your team is doing a magnificent job!

Toma_Hawk Spirit #4 frequency with of The Alembic Mothership, was successful. Soul transmission to the Toma_Hawk assembly had finished...
 
Toma_Hawk01, had received 100% of the Green Ship's soul transfer, deep from outer space. The life forces of the Green ship created the pulse of life to the Toma_Hawk01.
 
Only (1) 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...

Nice,nice,nice!!!! Can't wait to see more pics, that is a very purdy back side.

Honestly, I was hoping for a action shot...  
and there it is... Cool-Cat-Cool!
 
The human element, depicted in Mica's photo, provides the human touch, it also provides both size, and scale of any bass.  
 
I am one of those people when at family gatherings, people almost instinctively know I have my camera strapped, and clicking ready.
On moments like those, there's always someone who jokingly, and yet purposely, doge my clicks.  
 
As this bass moves toward the seasons of fall, and also the not too distant holiday's ahead, I can't help but hope Mica would take more pictures of the Toma_Hawk with the Alembic staff and family, if possible.  
 
It tells the story better.
 
Just a honest request.
 
Peace-

Picture on the right, is an angular recreation drawing of the Toma_Hawk bass control's lower cavity area.

I don't like the Tomahawk shape at all, but that's OK.  As long as one gets what one is looking for, that's all that matters in the end.  I'm sure it will be an awesome bass for you.  As it should be, I think!

Alan,
 
This will be an awesome bass period.  
 
I am glad you have a bass you could feel proud  that was built for you, because that would be a shame to desire something that can't be made.
 
And of course, there are people who don't share your same tastes and I say to them, as you would say: WHO CARES.  
 
Thank you for your honesty, nonetheless.

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.
Therefore, on every morrow, are we wreathing
A flowery band to bind us to the earth,
Spite of despondence, of the inhuman dearth
Of noble natures, of the gloomy days,
Of all the unhealthy and o'er-darkened ways
Made for our searching: yes, in spite of all,
Some shape of beauty moves away the pall
From our dark spirits.  
 
-John Keats

Dieu qu'il la fait bon regarder
La gracieuse, bonne et belle !
Pour les grans biens qui sont en elle,
Chascun est prest de la louer.
 
Qui se pourroit d'elle lasser?
Tousjours sa beaut? renouvelle.
Dieu qu'il la fait bon regarder,
La gracieuse, bonne et belle !
 
Par de?a ne dela la mer,
Ne s?ay dame, ne damoiselle
Qui soit en tous biens parfais telle;
C'est un songe que d'y penser.
Dieu, qu'il la fait bon regarder!
