In this thread Mica states that blackened brass is a black nickel oxide plating technique. Recently, the plater has added a hardened clear coating, which makes the color a deeper black. Previously, it was more of a gunmetal color.

Photos, inspection and packing to do, but all that points to shipping on Monday.

They look like Schaller strap locks to me.

Definitely Schaller Security Locks (the only way to go, IMHO)

Just wanted to let everyone know this bass made it home safe and sound wednesday evening. I only had a little time to made some minor neck adjustments and noodle around a bit, but it is absolutely stunning. Struggling to get through work so I can get home and play. I will try to post some pics this weekend.

One of the nicest Alembics I have ever seen. A very nice design concept indeed. I really am a sucker for the neck thru with a book match to center. I think now I will have to do wth one less frappe latte mocha something, and start saving for a custom for myself. Congrats and enjoy.
