Hey Hal,
 
I had hope that you would realize your Dream on Christmas Day...
 
In any event, I know that you will be fulfilled by Alembic in the days to come.
 
Merry X-mas, from the Brotherhood of the Bass.

Happy New Year's to you.

Everything's loaded:

Eduardo's is the next Series on dad's bench, then it's your bass' turn. Will keep you posted as to when he's finished and the bass is ready.

Hal,
I'm literally speechless. This is a stingray, a space ship, a royal scepter, a dream catcher, an alien artifact. I love the configuration of the knobs in relation to the body shape! A tribute to both you and the expertise and artistry of Alembic.
 
You better get clearance from the FAA, cuz' when you take delivery of this baby you're gonna be on cloud nine!!!

GOD is good!
 
Mica, the picture says it all... you guys clearly out done yourselves on this one. I know, if this bass looks this good on camera, it must look fascinating with exquisite beauty in person.  
 
I must admit, I was doing fine until I seen this picture. You know you just made it extra hard for me to fall asleep tonight...  
 
But, I'm happy you post the picture anyway. Thank you Mica!
 
As I said many times, there was never a single question or doubt in my mind on the beauty and utility of this bass. The Toma_Hawk is a clear example of everything I imagined a bass to be, and more.  
 
The whole presentation of the different woods, and colors are all there, and in clear view -- with nothing covered. The quality is in clear view, the quality of the work, is very close to the levels of divinity.
 
Sam, thank you for your kind words. This is an amazing bass indeed, and a true work of art.  
 
Peace and Love,
 
Hal-

I don't have to say anything, right Hal?
Cause I'm speechless now...

Here's what people had said my bass looks like...
 
1. A woman's swim suit
2. The Highway Sign of Route 66
3. A Police badge
4. The outline of the Tasmanian Devil cartoon
5. An Alembic Small Body Smiling
6. A Pit Bull's jaws and ears
7. A Whale Harpoon
8. A baby Gellyfish
9. A baby Octopus
10. Stitch's Space ship (From Lilo and Stitch cartoon)
11. A woman with a nice sweater reclined, and looking at the heavenly moon and stars...
12. A table lamp from the Victorian era
13. A Diamond
14. A Heart
15. A Car with racing stripes
16. Squidworth's head (Sponge Bob's friend)
17. A stingray
18. An Alien's head
19. An Alien Artifact  
 
To me, I just think it looks Beautiful.
 
P.S.
 
As a design rule: Any curvy shapes which takes on the characteristics of a beautiful women, a sleek sports car, or an Alien Space Ship can't be bad...  
 
 
Peace and Love,
 
Hal-
