A tiger bass? Does that mean my bass will have many lovers and play golf?

Man, your bass is so SUPER-BAAAD, the ladies will show, as soon as you hit a beautiful note. You will not need to play golf, my brother.
 
BTW, I looked up the meaning of golf...and I found:
 
(Gentlemen. Only. Ladies. Forbidden)  
If true, what a legacy...
 
(I learn something new everyday...)  
 
Peace and Love,

Hi Hal!
When r u expecting the new bass? I am still on hold!
Interesting definition of golf ... I remember reading an article some time ago about the word Nylon...
It seems that it was discovered by 2 scientists one from NY city and one from LONdon.... And that's where the name comes from....!!!!

Hi Ed.
 
I am still waiting to get the call. I am holding off on any unnecessary (out of the area) travels this month and next month, I have faith the new birth of this bass will be picked up soon.
 
I was thinking, there may be a chance I'll see your bass, if its still at Alembic HQ, if they'd yet to ship it off..  
 
Like I said before, I promise to look, but not touch it...  
 
Peace and Love,
 
Hal-

500  

  Oh, and the Toma-Hawk is cool!
The only thing that stays the same is change.

Thanks Paul,
 
And it don't stop, can't stop, won't stop...
 
It might reach 1000 long after I receive this bass!
 
Peace and Love,

Won't that take up rather alot of room on the Alembic server?

Done!

I've sent you an email about available dates to collect your bass.

Awesome, Hal - congratulations... This leg of the journey is OVER.  Take the next exit to Alembic, and start the next one!

Mica, Susan, Ron and the Alembic Team THANK YOU!
 
It's a emotional moment for me, and seeing this bass pictured with the magic word: Done was the final chapter to this story of how Alembic made my dream bass.  
 
I am very sure, this story will be repeated again and again, for generations to come.  
 
JOB WELL DONE!
     
Peace to everybody and may I hope, to someday see your Alembic ideas created here. (why would you go anywhere else???)
 
God bless everyone, and please keep me in your prayers.
 
Hal-

This must be a world record bass, took less time to construct than to design/quote a 12th fret inlay for another bass that's almost finished (!)
 
Looks great, congrats!
Be sure to totally overload the showcase section when you get her! ;-)
Royal badness indeed!
