That's beautiful. Thanks Mica.  
back on topic, I like the long horn on Will's bass. If I'd known about that as an option I might have chosen an essence instead of the rogue. Not that I'm in any way disappointed with my rogue of course ;-)

p.s. george - I'm always thinking.

This is a picture from last week:

 
Now the bass is actually done, just waiting on the custom knobs that should be here next week. I'll post a new pic when they come in.

Flame Maple cores always look great, but especially here as a great match to the color of the top.

I love the two matching swirled grain areas.  
 
Lookin' good Will!

I finally received the bass in June, and have been using it exclusively ever since - and lovin' every minute of it! One of these days, I'll get some pics of it up, but in the meanwhile, here are the spec's that aren't otherwise obvious: Flame Maple body with Nearest Neighbor wood back plates, red side LED's with a 3-position switch, AXY in neck position & Fatboy in bridge position (both with Continuous Wood tops), Elan electronics (dual pre-amps/master vol/pan/filter) with 3-position Q-switch, inlayed logo w/shell, Continuous Wood truss rod cover, and side-mounted output jack. It's tuned BEAD (I'm an 'old-school' groove player) with a neck measuring 1 7/16 @nut and 2 3/8 @ 24th. fret...and it fits me like a glove! For me, this little beauty has everything I need/want, and nothing I don't - particularly in the electronics department. Having previously owned Alembics with Series II and Signature electronics, I find a single filter/Q setup to be somewhat more user-friendly - particularly on gigs...but that's just me!

Will-  
 
Dying to see pictures of the bass. I'm interested in seeing those wooden pickup covers, the inlayed logo and those nearest neighbor backplates.
 
Glad you're enjoying it.
