Mica,
 
Did you forget about me? I was looking forward to those pix you promised me.
 
Kevin

Sorry Kevin, I try. I don't always make it.  

 

 

  Still waiting on the case. Will call for the ETA in the morn.

Thanks, Mica.  
 
I know that you're extremely busy and that I'm not the only impatient PITA that you have to deal with. Thanks for the nice pix.
 
The bass looks awesome with the new knobs! I'm assuming you got the nut back from the platers and everything is copasetic? As soon as you can let me know about the case ETA, and more importantly, the ETA for instrument shipping, I would greatly appreciate it.  
 
Cheers,
 
Kevin

The nut is now to our satisfaction. The ETA for shipping is entirely dependent upon the day we receive the case. I'll be calling them as soon as they are open.

Mica,
 
Thanks for the (quick) update. You're up bright and chipper this fine AM.
 
K.

That is a sweet Orion and I love the THG Knobs.They really add the right touch to your bass.Congrats.

Dave:
 
Thanks. Yeah, I was hopin' that the knobs would set it off. I didn't know if I suceeded until I saw them on the bass. Looks like I guessed right.

Kevin,
 
Saw this earlier this morning, no time to post, something about 'ethics in the work place...'
 
Hats off to you and Alembic on a beautiful piece of art. When you finally have this baby at home (and after you quit posing in front of the mirror with it draped around your neck and you know you will!  ), please post some pics of the whole enchilada, seeing the bits and pieces isn't doing it for me!
 
congratulations!
 
Mike

Thanks, Mike. I'm dying to see the whole thing myself. Mica is a bit of a Bass Tease: she shows me just enough to get me all worked up, LOL! Seriously though, Mica and Co. surely outdid themselves on this one. I wanted something really nice, and they delivered. Now, I just have to get it delivered, LOL!

Sorry, duplicate post.

This is the first chance I have had to check out your bass with the knobs, very impressive! You already know how I feel about the maple. What an awesome bass, please post pic's as soon as you get it home.
 
Rory

Thanks, Rory.
 
Alembic is still waiting for my flight case. As soon as they get it, I get it. I can't wait. It's been a long seven-plus month wait, but I'm sure it'll be worth every minute.

Kevin - What a gorgeous instrument! Congrats. Can't wait to see the snaps of the whole bass.

Thanks, Tom.
 
That makes two of us. BTW: congratulations and good luck on your new custom. You WILL wait, but you will get to follow the progress right here, which is a very cool thing. You also get one of the finest instruments on the planet, bar none. It makes you feel special for sure. How often do you get that kind of satisfaction from a purchase, regardless of price?

Kevin, if we'd have anything to say about it, this would definitely be my #1 candidate for a Featured Custom showcase. Very beautiful bass, the Orion body shape is one of the best Susan and/or Mica have ever designed IMHO (I just love mine also) and the knobs works great visually. Congratulations from a fellow Orion owner!
 
(consider yourself lucky for not being able to hear me actually SING this!)
 
JETHRO TULL - ORION
 
Orion, won't you give me your star sign
Orion, get up on the sky-line
I'm high on my hill and I feel fine
Orion, let's sip the heaven's heady wine
 
Orion, light your lights:
come guard the open spaces
from the black horizon to the pillow where I lie.
Your faithful dog shines brighter than its lord and master
Your jewelled sword twinkles as the world rolls by.
So come up singing above the cloudy cover
Stare through at people who toss fitful in their sleep.
I know you're watching as the old gent by the station
scuffs his toes on old fag packets lying in the street
And silver shadows flick across the closing bistro.
Sweet waiters link their arms and patter down the street,
their words lost blowing on cold winds in darkest Chelsea.
Prime years fly fading with each young heart's beat
 
Orion, won't you make me a star sign
Orion, get up on the sky-line
I'm high on your love and I feel fine
Orion, let's sip the heaven's heady wine
 
And young girls shiver as they wait by lonely bus-stops
after sad parties: no-one to take them home
to greasy bed-sitters and make a late-night play
for lost virginity a thousand miles away.
