Wow, enjoy it! I like the back as much as the front. The Omega is stunning. Great woods!

Many thank's ! I receive today my bass by ups. But it is to my mother's home, I will take and discover it tomorow.
This morning, I changed the strings on my short scale Stanley, and tuned it a,d,g,c.
No problem with nut or bridge, all was perfect, nothing to change great sound !!!
My 5 strings would be tune maybe e,a,d,g,c.

Yes, the back is as beautiful as the front!

That is a beautiful instrument! What is the blue detail at the 21st fret? Another LED?

By the way, Pierre-Yves, you will find the side LEDs to be an amazing assist if you are playing on a dark stage. One where the lighting is high out front, but dimmer back where the drummer, keyboard, bassist are.

Peace,

James

malthumb, I will be never at back, but in front !
My project is Tribute to Stanley Clarke.
The blue one is an inlay of mother of blue pearl.

Fantastic axe!! Congratulations.

Thank's ! Tonight, I change original strings (BEADG) for the set EADGC, using a 6 string set 105,085,065,045,030.
Nothing to change !!! (bridge or nut).
It sound great, like my SC, no buzz. Certainly I will wait for the wood work, but I believe there is no problem.
Tomorrow I will show pictures from my bass at home.

Here they are. Look at the tailpiece, not at the center, as usual for my basses....

just a question: what mean SC, MK, SJ, MJ, JJ, or EVH ?
SC & MK ok, but the others ?

Pierre, EVH stands for Edwin Van Huik.

For more info, see this thread: http://club.alembic.com/Images/411/3202.html?1180738439

JJ stands for Jimmy Johnson. SJ and MJ I have no idea about...
