David's Coco Bolo Custom

[funkyjazzjunky]

I wish there was an updated list of Body Types

[daveski]

This bass has shaped into exactly what i was looking for when i placed the order, infact even better if that's possible! Well done PierreYves it was a bass pic of MKs that i sent to Alembic to use as a template for similar wood matches as i always thought his cocobolo Alembic was one of the finest examples i'd seen! But i never in my wildest dreams thought they would be able to get that close!

Any news on this bass?

[mica]

The bass is done:

 
With the very light gauge strings, it's has to enjoy sitting here a little longer for observation. In all likelihood, it should depart before the end of the week.

There's an extra knob when compared to the picture Mica posted on Jan 12th.  What does the new knob do?

[mica]

Dimmer for LEDs

[olieoliver]

Master Volume maybe?
 
Very nice top.
 
OO

[olieoliver]

I type too slow.

[David Houck]

I love that top!!
 
Olie; no offense, but I'm going with Mica's guess over yours; hee hee.
 
Sitting here a little longer for observation; translation: Mica wants to play it some more.

[olieoliver]

LOL, Yea I would too Dave.

Oh Boy TB,
I know I'm a little late but this bass is gorgeous!. If I get another one it will be like yours. I would love to have a 4 string now even though I love my Mele Aloha 5 so so so much.
What a beautiful top. Nice design. Very nice. Congradulations!!!

Paul!!
 
Where the heck have you been?  I'm still waiting for some pictures and a review of that beautiful quilted coco monster you had made.  I thought you had fallen in the volcano.....

[mele_aloha]

Ha Ha TB!!!
Pele didn't get me yet!!! I'm just about to write about my new love found relationship with Mele.
 
I haven't had any time or place to get her out much until now. And let me tell ya, well I'll be telling you sooner than later but- Oh my God!!, in Hawaii they say it's just like Butta. I mean my hands are starting to grow into the bass. ya know, that saying might even hold in New York with their accent, Butta that is.
 
But as soon as I get alittle more time I'll talk about Mele Aloha. It is truly the most awesomely amazing thing I have ever touched.
 
As I sit here right now I am blazing blue from the lazers shining on me.
 
I'll be talking to you soon bro.
 
Aloha for now, Paul

Just wondered Mica are the slightly older pickup style still avaliable or are the gold writing style the only ones manufactured these days?

[daveski]

Will Gunn has informed me that both pickup styles are avaliable(with and without gold lettering).Do you think there is any chance of a photo of the two different types next to the body so i can compere.
 
   many thanks Dave
