Yeah, I'm pleased you see that too, Toby. The understatement of just the walnut and myrtle, finished in oil, but dressed up with gold hardware was pretty much what I wanted. I love the hippie sandwich under a gloss finish, but I really wanted a more retro-Alembic look for this bass. Looks like that's how it's working out. Plus, frankly, an understated look will carry me through more of the places and people I play with than a movie star bass (surprising how easy it is to upstage a Strat, huh?). But, sort of stealthy, too, I hope. You know, super powers in a mild mannered guise (LOL).
I can't wait. I've got a couple of basses at home who've been working on their resumes when they think I'm not looking...
