Sounds like shades of Gone With the Wind.
SCARLETT:
Rhett! If you go, where shall I go? What shall I do?

RHETT:
Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.

LOL

hmmm . . . I'm wondering if it's more like Scarlet, as in Begonias . . .

Maybe it'll be Scarlet as in Burl Redwood... check out this AWESOME Balance K:

It speaks for itself.

Maybe something like that with a Red Mahogany body, alternating Ebony & Maple pinstripes, and alternating Ebony and Vermillion neck laminates with maybe two Rock Maple racing stripes!

That would be an awesome Scarlet bass!

Man, if I wasn't getting Coco Bolo for my new monster, I'd be getting this!!!

Mind-blowing...

Flax:

I know, without asking, it will be into the blues.

Olie:

I have a minimum 2 Alembic retainer! hehehehe

Bill, tgo

Alembic retainer? HMMMM mine all have straight teeth.

picked this bad boy up saturday. will post some photos shortly
if anyone can give me some insight on what strings alembic supplies or what strings you use- much appreciated
looks like TI's are on there now- purple wraps
the bass was originally owned by phil baker of gino vanelli's band- but we were unable to find any photos of him playing it
the hard travel case is the size of a coffin- literally
