Here's your bass coming together:  

 Here's the body getting glued to the neck.  

 You need to see this up close. What great flames in the Ebony! You've read it a hundred time before, but wait until the finish hits it! This will be shockingly beautiful.

Holy S**t, is this flame Macassar Ebony? I've never seen such a pattern...and the headstock...OMG, that's beautiful. Can't wait for the final pics....wow....

Yes , this is my dream bass ! And it's such an incredible Macassar Ebony ! Thanks Susan for it !

Wonderful figuring in the top wood, this'll be a stunning example of Alembic's magical woodworking once it's finished!

I'm glad to see how nice this bass is turning out because I have a bunch of macassar ebony that looks very similar. Won't be ready to use for some time though.

I just love the chocolate-streaked ebony!
