Rory and Alembicians,

GRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrEAT looking bass!!
headstock bevelage is a new milestone in attarctive bass design.
Adriaan I have to agree in that. Personally I would NEVER choose a Balance K for a 4 string ...it ends up too small for my proportions. For a 6 string it seems sooooo natural to choose a Balance K ...although ...I still have feelings for that good ol' Europa design for 6 strings.

Thanks Guys

I have a feeling we will be seeing a few more beveled peg heads in the future. Paul, I am so glad I can do something to meet your approval I was starting to get worried. You are soooo hard to please!

It is turning out pretty nice, looking forward to the next update. Thanks for the compliment.

Here's the layout taped on the bass:

We're going to move the 4 switches to the edge a little bit since they are now rotaries. I've got some knobs that are the same as the pointer knob, but without the point so they are a litle smaller.

The knob with the point is exactly what I would like to have. Thanks for the update.

Omigosh, that is cool. I love this shape! Like the bevelled h/stock too....it's no good, I need a lottery win really badly! If I ever manage to get another custom Alembic, I think it would be a Balance K.

It has been a while is there a photo update with the knobs in place?

Rory,

I saw your bass yesterday at the factory; I took a picture of it. I can post here or send to you privately. Send me an email. You're going to be very happy with your bass-- it is a real stunner.

Brad

Hey Brad

Go ahead and post pics if you have them, I would love to see them. Thanks

Rory

Hey Mica

If you do any photo updates this weekend I would love to see a full clear shot of my instrument. I know where we are at in the build stage, I just want a shot to add to my personal build library. Thanks in advance.

Rory

I'm not sure what a full clear shot is, but I hope this is close to what you had in mind:
