[flaxattack]

thanks b

[flaxattack]

is it soup yet?

[flaxattack]

alas poor yurik.......
seems one of the elvis' had too much egg nog and dropped one of my pickups. no damage to the pickup or more important the wood cover. needs some tidying up on the finish and there is time needed to cure
so if not this week - def next wed
maybe hanukah harry will make a late appearance sat at my step kids house?

Egg nog indeed! Here's that back view I was telling you about on the phone earlier today:

  and those kinder, more gentle bridge saddles:

[flaxattack]

is that a new style saddle? i wasnt expecting this at all, swweeeeeet
looks neat
boy that is some luster on the back mica
i love how it gets dark at the edges

[flaxattack]

was it egg nog
or egg weed?
lol

[mica]

A coupla more pictures so you can really see what's going on with your bass:

 

  The saddle is made the same way as usual, just the traditionally square ends of each are lightly filed to round them off a little so they won't scratch your delicate mitts when you play over the bridge like you do. Glad you like it!

boy great job on the layouts...
tell bob i said thank you- to me it all starts with the layout and cutting
the truss rod looks like 2 boobies with the screws on-lol
the controls came out perfect!!!! i need to ask roger if he has enough to make q switches
the back?
so much color/grain variance. the horns...little things like stopping the tummy cut where it is,.
but i gotta say it first- does the center of it remind anyone of a certain part of the female anatomy=or is it my warped perverted mind? feel free to answer yes for both
good thing i didnt name this one FRED...
lol
after careful consideration

[the_8_string_king]

Mmm... latkas... starchy... yummy...
 
Scarlet's sure an incredible beauty, and a unique Alembic.  And I love the hard core custom electronics package.
 
Hopefully your finger has healed well, and will be up for the rigors of extensively playing this awesome new bass when it arrives!!!
 
Mazel Tov!!!

[bassfingers]

Dang!!,
 
This bass HAS to be a future COTM.Looking more stunning by the day.
 
All the best,
 
Simon.

I'm guessing jaws will be dropping like crazy any time you take Scarlet out of the case  
 
How the heck are you going to decide whether to play the Dire Wolf or Scarlet... Although I bet that's a choice just about anyone here would love to have to make on a daily basis like you're about to!
 
Merry Christmas!

TODD
THAT IS A DILEMMA OF HUGE PROPORTIONS.
IF I AM GIGGING OUT- PROBABLY BOTH ALONG WITH BRINKS SECURITY..lol
mica and i were talking about that tonight. wolf is a very special sounding alembic. in micas own words,, everything came together perfectly and it has this particular growl/punch to it. billy lbesq has heard it,  
we always wonder what its gonna end up sounding like. mica does the test drive since its the only 5 string she can play
so figuring this will sound different it will depend on my mood.
but of course this will need a good break in period
mica may send me a high res photo. if any wants to see it- just shoot me an email.
i didnt launch tonight as pauls needed to go out, and had priority today. so maybe tmew, def next wed
