I'm looking for the scoop on the Alembic DragonWing model. The only one I've seen is at Bassentral here in Fl. Any info/pics/opinions etc. would be helpfull!

Here are some threads.

I've got one.  I'll see if I can post a pic.
 
It's a great instrument, but I have to admit I've been toying with idea of selling mine simply because I don't play it as much as I used to now that I've got my Series II custom.  I will say I like the Signature electronics quite a bit - simple to use and very versatile.  It's a little heavy but not overly so.  And it turns heads everywhere one goes, trust me.

I had mine for about two months last year before UPS broke the headstock off during shipment back to Alembic for a minor repair.  I am waiting for a new one to be built.  
 
While I now have a Europa-body SII, I loved the DW.  It is longer than one expects so takes a bit of getting used to on a crowded stage (or living room), but the balance is great.  The case size is also a consideration, depending upon what size car you drive.  The weight is not much more than my SII, but part of that would relate to whether the bass has continuous wood or brass backing plates (mine were wood).  Much has been posted about the difference between Signature versus Series electronics, so I won't repeat that (although I assume you could get Series electronics on a DW).  I agree with Alan about the Signature electronics.  He's also right on about the appeal this body style has with the crowd (and frankly, everybody).
 
While I love my SII, I dearly miss the Signature DW even more.  In fact, now having the opportunity to have a do over on a custom bass because of the aforementioned shipping incident, I am only making one slight change, to add two very thin pinstripes to the neck.
 
I only managed to get a few pictures of my DW while I had it, and haven't gotten around to posting them yet, but here's the FTC thread:

I had the chance to buy a Dragon Wing (slighty used, but in MINT condition).  I regret everyday my decision to pass it up.  Like my chance to buy the John Judge Doubleneck. My biggest regret ever.
 

Rami,  
  Christian was trying to sell The John Judge doubleneck a while back and may be wanting to still sell it. So...ahh...whatcha waiting for?

I must have missed that post. I haven't been around much lately.
 
Thanks Adam!!!
 

Adam,
 
Is there a thread I can find where Christian mentions wanting to sell it?  I'd like to get some more info.
 
Thanks.

Thanks for the info guys.  I'll look into it and make a decision.  It's a hefty investment - but I know it's worth it.  I have to decide if I'm ready to make that committment.
 
Cheers,
