Mike's Custom Signature 5-string

[mica]

Some parts pics I dug up:  

 Oh this top looks nice!  

 Neck with the Ebony in the center  

 Sandwich with accent lams and pinstripes.   I'll make sure I get some new shots for you before the end of the week.

Hi, Mica!
 
THANXXXXXXXX for the pics!!!!!! 'Scuze me whilst I try to compose myself!!    
                             
 
Thanks again, Mike........  

[5stringho]

OK, let's try this again, now that I can sit down!! Can't think of any new words besides WOW, or, OMIGOSH, or HOLY COW, and keep it clean! I'm stunned. She looks better than I imagined, even in the raw form. Can't WAIT to see more!! I'm REALLY happy with her   . Lot's going on in the Coco, great color, and the sandwich is delicious!
She's gonna be da BOMB! Keep me posted whenever you get the chance!!  
 
Thank you again, Tty, Mike.......

Nice top Mike. I'm glad you're getting what you wanted now. I'm also glad I got your cast-off too ;-)

Oh DUDE!  Ho!

Hey, Gang!!
 
Thanks for the kind words, Art! I appreciate it. Graeme, I'm really glad you got the original. I can tell you really love it and are taking wonderful care of her. Isn't castoff a little harsh , though? I prefer to think of it as allowing someone else the opportunity to have a wonderful Custom Alembic Bass without the excruciating agony of the wait !! And Jim, I'm tickled you approve! We have a long way to go to be up to the standards set your  Quilted Godzilla of tone! We'll keep our fingers crossed she'll turn out worthy!!
 
Keep yer eyes peeled. Hope more pics & stuff show up soon!
 
TTYall soon,   Mike           (The 'Ho)......

Is it just me, or are that thing glaring at me  ??  Looks like Evil Eyes givin' the ol' staredown!!! But is is TOOOOOOO COOL! I'm so excited, I can't decide whether it's me or one of the Dogs that piddled the floor! Don't know what looks better, the front or the back! Excellent color, Just, like WOW!! Thanks, Art and Jim! Yeah, I think I may just like this one

[the_8_string_king]

Ooooh, it looks GREAT... I especially like the concentrics on the upper-back side of the instrument (playing perspective)!!!

[5stringho]

I hope that in the end, she gets the 8 String King seal of approval!!  !! There MAY be a few little things that help the odds, stay tuned!
