Mica,
 
Since we're talking hardware... I setup my basses with super low action. In fact the bridge on my Essence is as low as it can get on the treble side. Can you please make it as low as is possible/makes sense. It's easier to raise than it is to lower if you run out of room. Thanks.
 
Dave

Any news? Or maybe more importantly... any pics? :D

Hi Dave - probably no more pics until it's finished. Once in finish, the looks it pretty much the same in snapshots. Your black hardware is off at the plater's and your bass is still getting the finish applied.

P.s When it's done I would love to have the classic Alembic couch photo.

Wow it looks amazing! That black hardware was definitely the right choice. Can't wait to play it.

I love the colors in the ebony.  Mac ebony has such a grey-green tint that pops to that incredible, grey/gold with finish.  The black hardware is the perfect complement to that color tone.  It's a beauty.  One of those basses it may be hard to stop staring at in order to play it.

I said it before, and I'll say it again:  that is one sweet looking bass.  The black hardware is just perfect.

It's gonna be a stunning bass, and the black harware was the right choice - it'll match the clear ebony fretless fingerboard perfecty! Can't wait to see it completed, congrats Dave!
