Thank you, Mica & Valentino for the posts!  Foaming at the mouth, I am truely elated & left without words. Even without the necessary apparatus, I believe my adrenal glands are in over-drive.

Oh-oh-oh ...I like this model too!!!
Those choises.
The best thing you can do is just leave this club and forget about this basses ...too much choices. Henry Ford created the ultimate luxury. Quote: We can deliver the Ford T in any color ...as long that it's black!!!' LOL
 
No ...joking ...GREAT bass ...stunning wood.
Brother David ...watch out for that foam aroudn your mouth ...see what happened to that fine Brother Paul the good one ...he start jumping in excitement and is now hanging with his head between two parblazers on the light rig of the Roseclub Boston.
Oh ...huh ...was the foam from the beer?
 
Aaaaaah
 
Paul the bad one

palembic,
 
I totally sympathize with you.  Every time I decide I have all the basses I need, something shows up in this forum that makes me think, maybe I could get that body style, with this wood, and these electronics.....  This is one of those basses.  Rob's Series II is another.  Kevin's custom is another.  Do I really need to finish the list or do you get the point?
 
Peace,
 
James

Hey Alembic Brothers Paul & James,  
 
Wait until you guys see my next and last!! I think it will be just as killer!
 
Alembic Brother David

Paul the bad one

Mica &/or Valentino: Do you think we could see a shot of the back?

Omigosh. This must be what it feels like looking through the keyhole of the Playboy mansion. I'm with Paul, I quit too! That is just stunning....great headstock choice too! I always thought the knobby headstock would look cool on a Rogue, and I wasn't wrong. If I ever win the lottery, Alembic are going to be SO busy! (yeah, big if!)

Hello David,
 
I understand your impatience, but Mica and I are out today and tomorrow, for different reasons. We'll try to get a picture of the back posted later this week.
 
Valentino

Here's some updated pics you were after:  

 Backplates are in the spray booth, so you'll have to assemble the lion visage with your imagination.  

 Pretty like front!  

 The whole enchilada, fretted and ready to get the hardware setup for plating.    

Back of  The Lion ...truly a good name!
 
Paul the bad one  
 
PS every evening -to my wife's surprise- I pull a nylon stocking over my head and start practicing for the mirror in our bedroom my Boston accent to mumble Hands-up.
 
 
MIrror in the bedroom, a man with nylon stockings ...oh-oh thos could be explained the wron way again

Just one word: breathtaking.
