Wow! it's a real beauty.  Thanks for the pics.  Does it have a back laminate as well?

Hey Rami,
Nope, no back laminate.  I decided to have a the mother of plastic ovals, custome cut neck and sustain block put in. Alembic did a great job on the accent laminates around the elbow cut.

Yes they are. There's Purpleheart and maple laminates around the body as well.

Hey Stoney,
She really is a gorgeous bass...I love the peghead shape and the tulip top is outstanding...NICE!!!

Hey Micky, Thanks...I visited Alembic and fell in love with the Tulip wood.  As for the peghead, it's sort of the JAE shape, long & narrow...and the almost red mahoghany really makes it stand out. It's a terrific bass.

This bass is now owned by Ed Oggydoggy Orr from New York.  Ed and I swapped axes for various reasons and we're both thrilled with our new basses. Ed is a real class act and a pleasure to deal with.  ENJOY ED!!

I haven't looked at this bass in a while.
And it is a great bass.  Congrats Ed!
Maybe you can post some more pics.
And thanks for the update Stoney!

I couldn't be happier, Stoney and I both love the signature electronics, but he preferred short scale and I preferred med-long scale, (I hoped). And this bass does the trick for me. I want to thank Stoney for being honest and for good communication. He is also a pleasure to deal with. Great example of the trust among club members. Hey Daveouch I will get some pictures up soon, I have been to busy playing lately. This bass is much more colorfull than the pictures above show, WOW this thing is beautiful.

stoney

They are signature electronics 1 vol, 1 pan, 2 tone, 2 Q switches. Yes the 3rd switch is for the red side LEDs.

I can't believe you are selling this bass. Hey everybody, check out eBay for a good deal on a cool custom bass. So why are you selling it?
