the last of inlays... (the arabic scripture reads Alexandria)

The catchy sculpted Maltese cross (yes, i know, kind of a mild obsession with me). I could feel Susan and MIca trembling when they drilled that one... but they really nailed it beautifully (pic doesn't do it justice)

The close up from behind, just for Paul...

and finally a body frontal with a bit more light than before

for a brief history, this was ordered at the end of 2008 if I'm not mistaken, and came in my hands mid-march 2012... so a long wait for an amazing work of art. I must say that collaborating with Susan and Mica was a dream, and the whole Alembic family really nailed it like I couldn't have imagined... Coco bolo top and back series II, with flame maple body... pretty heavy, but the sound is crazy... I love it... and still am in awe of the Alembic craft...!

I got to see this one up close and personal.Over the last few years I would visit the factory and see this bass. The pic's do not do this one justice. I was quite taken with the inlays. You are a very lucky man. Congratulations!

Pierre -
Thank YOU! :-D

Great gods that really is beautiful! From the front it looks like the top grain drapes over the cutout.

Thanks to all for your kind words...! Next one to come in is a 6-string (African Theme, just for you Afrobeat...!And you are right, the pics are incredibly bad... I don't have the photographic skills of pierreyves nor the camera for that matter), Delivery of the 6, certainly not before next year, and there could be a new kind of body inlay style... We'll all have to wait and see...!

Welcome to the club Pierre!

The cross in the body is amazing! And the inlays, from concept to execution, are exceptional. Congrats!

Triple thanks Dave, but alas, after hearing you play on your video, I still have a lot (but a really lot) of practicing to do. In order to be worthy of...
