I'm assuming this one is finished by now.
 
Todd- if you happen to check in on this, give us an update.  I loved watching the build process on this one.

sorry tbrannon- been on the road for a bit- no this one is not done yet though getting close says Mica. Like a fine whiskey( or some serious bbq'd brisket) this will be well worth a little wait- as is any Alembic I'm sure.

Beautiful!  Is that a low B or a high C?  Congratulations!

Sorry, I re-read the post.  It is a low B.  The picture fooled me, it looked a little bit thin.  It should sound colossal!

Nice bass, Todd, way beyond custom!
That'll make quite an impact onstage, sonically and visually.

Congratulations Todd!
 
I have interest in the sound of this bass seriously. I want to hear, if possible.

I've really enjoyed reading the comments from everyone. The Alembic community seems quite attentive- and global ! HB3 and Toshiaki- its in transit now and no doubt I'll be going underground( to my bassment ) for a good while when it arrives but I'll try to figure out how to get a digital clip in here. If you have a copy of ELP's Works album laying about- Lake played an 8 string- you'll get the idea. Look  for 1977 stuff- blurred in my memory but I think thats about right.
