Mean People Suck!!!!! Need I say more?? Why is this still going on here? I just don't get why anyone that see's and appreciates what goes on here with the Alembic family and all their magic could be in any way negative, it just boggles my mind. I think the excuse of language and culture differences has long been used up and that a certain individual (who I will refrain from naming) should chill out and PLEASE IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY.. STFU!!!!! IT'S THAT SIMPLE FOLKS. (Dave, I apologize if this is out of line, I'm just sick of the bad juju this person is bringing here. This is Hal's dream, how can anyone knock him for pursuing his right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness)

#12, it feels like...
 
Disneyland in the 60's (when I was a kid)!!!!
 
It was hard going to sleep on those nights leading to having fun in a world of imagination.  
 
Having this Toma_Hawk built does pull great moments in ones life. Music and musical instruments are universal tools, and I believe it's another channel to enter the souls of people.  
 
Music is a great power and it heals the heart from earthy plights of wicket concepts, and evil intentions.  
 
My father and late mother was responsible for implanting my musical spirit, and look to the past, and improve it (if possible). So, over time, Alembics basses was that improvement from any bass I ever played. The Toma_Hawk is yet taking it higher, but with the same support base.
 
The Toma_Hawk is my Disneyland!
 
PS...
My father finally figured out how to work his new Polaroid camera... The sky's were blue, so he has all the help... LOL!
 
I am the small old guy with the buttoned collar and the shirt properly tucked.

Hal,
 
That's got to be one of the coolest pics of Disneyland happiness I have ever seen. Certainly brought a smile to my face.

Thanks Tim,
 
Man, it's times like those, which are so short lived, you must stop, and give credit to the people who played a very positive roll in providing you a sense dignity and self respect, which you learn to protect from a world that is full of emotional instabilities. Never a day go by, I try to lift others spirits.  
 
Today, I just leaned that my cousin suddenly died yesterday while under a kidney dialysis treatment. She was only 29 years old.
 
I am still getting up, and I will be there with her parents and use what I have to get them through this tough time.
 
Peace.

Hal,
If I may say, my condolences to you and you family.  
 
Sincerely,
Greg
 
ps. Your bass is looking soooooooo good.... Can't wait for more pictures.  
Be strong.

[toma_hawk01]

Thanks Greg.
 
Mica's pictures run right through heart every time.

i Googled 'toma_hawk' there's several links about your bass,also toma_hawk is a forged weapon to cut/Slaugter the enemy,so my guess is you'll be choppin folks heads off with funkbass lines that will just kill in groove situations!   http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=toma_hawk&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&aqi=&oq=&fp=2cca7b2e99206b9c

#12,
 
Don't think; feel. It's like a finger pointing away to the moon. Don't concentrate on the finger, or you will miss all the heavenly glory.
 
AWWWWEEEEHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
 
Bruce Lee-
 
Why trust the Internet, when the knowledge is here?
 
Yes, the Toma_Hawk is a FUNK bass pure and simple. It's the kind of music that we all smile and feel the heart and soul of the audience when we play. This bass is for people to get off the wall and dance, and be joyful. This bass is for getting grandma, and granddad remember how they uses to get down and funky!  
 
I have a feeling this bass is being watch by some very powerful and beautiful people....
 
And that us!

Hal, wonderful to see your bass take shape. It's stunning to see how (relatively) fast it evolves. A unique instrument that by far looks better to me than any mock up. If I'm honest I was seriously doubting if I was going to like it, but I love it! Good choice about the knob placement. I agree with a previous poster that it matches the shape / lines of the body much better now.

Thanks Wilfred!  
 
First rule - (tap, tap, tap...)  
 
Actual objects must always look better than it's drawings.
 
Now, if you like the Toma_Hawk pictures from Mica, imagine the real thing in your hands...
 
Be honest...

[the_mule]

If I'm honest it feels like thinking about touching another woman, and since you have a blonde SSS1 for yourself you even decided to let go for similar reasons, you know that's a nono to keep the peace! Here's my Blondie: http://club.alembic.com/Images/411/10532.html?1254215816

Sure-you're-right Wilfred!
 
Man, your Blondie is gorgeous!!!  
 
I was going to sell mine, but I found a new hope for it. My Toma_Hawk will be used for Performances and recording and my shorty will be used for technique building and work outs. She my Gym bass. Then when I get in the ring of fire, my Toma_Hawk will get the people in the groove.
