Rory and Alembicians,
 
GRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrEAT looking bass!!
headstock bevelage is a new milestone in attarctive bass design.
Adriaan I have to agree in that. Personally I would NEVER choose a Balance K for a 4 string ...it ends up too small for my proportions. For a 6 string it seems sooooo natural to choose a Balance K ...although ...I still have feelings for that good ol' Europa design for 6 strings.

i like the bevel too- Looks great!!!  

Thanks Guys
 
I have a feeling we will be seeing a few more beveled peg heads in the future. Paul, I am so glad I can do something to meet your approval I was starting to get worried. You are soooo hard to please!
 
Rory

Yeah right ...suuuuuuuuuuuuure I am!

Rory, that's just beautiful, very impressive instrument!

It is turning out pretty nice, looking forward to the next update. Thanks for the compliment.

Here's the layout taped on the bass:
 

 
We're going to move the 4 switches to the edge a little bit since they are now rotaries.  I've got some knobs that are the same as the pointer knob, but without the point so they are a litle smaller.

The knob with the point is exactly what I would like to have. Thanks for the update.
 
Rory

Omigosh, that is cool. I love this shape! Like the bevelled h/stock too....it's no good, I need a lottery win really badly! If I ever manage to get another custom Alembic, I think it would be a Balance K.  

Mica
 
It has been a while is there a photo update with the knobs in place?
 

Rory,
 
I saw your bass yesterday at the factory; I took a picture of it.  I can post here or send to you privately.  Send me an email.  You're going to be very happy with your bass-- it is a real stunner.

Hey Brad
 
Go ahead and post pics if you have them, I would love to see them. Thanks
 
Rory

Hey Mica
 
If you do any photo updates this weekend I would love to see a full clear shot of my instrument. I know where we are at in the build stage, I just want a shot to add to my personal build library. Thanks in advance.
 
Rory

I'm not sure what a full clear shot is, but I hope this is close to what you had in mind:
 

Rory: Verrrrry nice!
