On this one, we masked over the logo since the darker parts of the wineburst finish would obscure it weirdly. I think it's turning out great.

A Maze Ing!
 
Congratulations, Alain!

Hey, Alain,
 
It can't be long now: those latest pix are lovely.  The quilted peghead is particularly awesome.  
 
Mark, ago

i agree. I particularly like the way they've masked the logo so it didn't get sprayed. I thought it looked a bit odd when they sprayed over the logo on steves maple Europa. http://club.alembicguitars.net/Images/631/13602.html?1107637847

( thank you all ) x 999999999999999999999
 
I do love those pics and the skill of everyone at alembic's , it's reall out of common !  
 
I ' m totally in love with the peghead and no varnish on the logo !!!!!!    smart idea !!!!!
 
 
Altough i find the body a bit dark , there is no doubt the picture don't do justice to the real colour of the instrument , yes  i like clear colours... i'm quite sure it's great and i have no doubt about the result : simply far beyond what expected !!!!
 
Thank's again  to all the crew in Santa Rosa

...hope you understand

Well I'm confused, but still got you three pictures today.  

 Fresh out of spray, needs to cure a little before the final rubout, but it really won't look too much different after the rub and buff.  

 Of course, you get to see the back too!  I don't think you've seen these yet:  

 You'll have to imagine them in place.

Hi Mica , Hi Val ,  
 
...these pictures are so great ! The front and the back look really wonderful , stunning !  
 
The varnish coats on the wineburst make the body look so bright , so great ! ...and the flame maple is totally beautiful !
 
In fact , i love everything in this bass , every part is a piece of art !  
 
Thank you so much for making my dream come true !  
 
ALAIN

Now that really is sweet. What a fantastic looking bass.

Hi Graeme ,  
 
Thank's for your appreciation ! In fact as i said , i was a bit surprised of the  darkness  of the finish , but with the varnish coats on it , it looks much more clearer and brighter !  
 
I really do love this finish ...and already thinking to my next bass...spalted maple , burl maple , quilted maple 5a with a blue finish , coco bolo... still have many years to think about it ...not before 3 years...i have to pay this baby first !!!
 
ALAIN

Alain,
wow this bass looks great.
I am eager to see the final result....
 
Oliver (Spyderman)

Hi Oliver ,  
 
I'm also looking forward to see it in its final state with pickups and red led's everywhere...!!!
 
By the way , you're everywhere on the net : on bass central : oliver is there , on alembic's : oliver is also there...you're a great alembic owner and it would be great to meet , belgium and germany are close...i sometimes go to k?ln...music store or shopping...let me know if it's possible for you !
 
ALAIN

Alain,
of course. Anytime. I live in Dueren, approx. 30kms from the belgian border.
As said your new baby really looks great.
I am also anxiously waiting for my new Alembic:

Let me know when you have time....
