Here's a preview of a sweet little Essence in Lacewood that will make its debut in Australia later this month:
 

thats nice! and doesn't Lacewood come from Australia to begin with? (that would sort of be 'coming home' to Australia...)

Yes it does come from Down Under...also known as silky oak.

Here's a preview of the Mark King, which is ready to rub out:
 

Thanks guys - these instruments look as beautiful as I hoped.
 
Just a reminder to Australian club members: if you want to see / hear these instruments in action at the launch on Mondey, November 10 leave your details at www.greensquare.net

We're shipping this week, and here's the Excel in Zebrawood going with the group:

Nice.
 
Expectant parent syndrome has definitely kicked in.

Very cool......... now I wish I lived down under......

Any news on shipment date?

They left today. I'll post some finished pics either tonight after dinner or in the morning. That Excel is especially nice

Thanks.
 
Especially nice by Alembic standards must be special.

David,  
 
I played the Mark King & the Excel, both sounded & played great, & of course they also look really stunning.  I think the folks who will come at the opening will be very impressed.  Wish I could be there.

Only had a chance to get one photo ready so far, but here's the Mark King Deluxe:
 

One word - absolutely beautiful!

It's very likely you've already been enjoying these basses. But just in case, here's the other 2 from the shipment:  

 

  Hope you like them!
