Hal - When is the 'drop date' for your new bass?

Well, I was told...
 
if lucky, the bass will be ready before Thanksgiving.  
 
I feel lucky!

Love your 76 - should it get lonely to the point of despair when the toma hawk arrives- let me know.  I afflicted with an acquisitive illness of late!   ; )

Thanks Tod,
 
I will surly be in good company with my Shorty   and (Tommy) Toma_Hawk.  
 
I'm sure I'd will be amazed with great interest and sincere anticipation and fulfillment once I get my hands around the Alembic Toma_Hawk.  
 
As with any new Alembic, this is to be expected, especially for anyone who waited patiently for their definition of what a bass is...  
 
But, as with anything, the highs and newness wears down, (thank God) and back to normal. I don't like being in the state of newphoria for too long, it blurs my senses, timing and my psyche.    
 
So, once the Toma_Hawk high is over, I will return back to my Shorty which is very sensible.

I hear my train coming...
 

 
Peace and Love,

Hal,  
 
That's an awesome picture.  Any chance of some close-ups of that beauty?
 
How are you liking the Toma-Hawk?  What are the differences in tone, from your maple shorty to the TH?  
 
Very interested to hear your thoughts/observations.
 
If I ever find a pile of cash laying around, I'm going to have a Series II 6 Built with either a quilted Coco-Bolo Top & Back, or possibly Redwood...  It will for sure have at least 3 Ebony neck lams- I loved the sound of my Thunderstick with those ebony lams, it was devastating!  Not sure what other woods other than a Vermilion core...
 
Peace;)

ps- I'm going to email you a few raw tracks from our recent recording, back in April.  It's for the new OTiS CD.  I'd love to hear your thoughts on the new material, raw though it is...

Frank,
 
I'll send you an email with my thoughts...

Thanks for the Parliament link, that song always brings me back! I gotta go dig out my vinyl!

You are welcome Ed  
 
Groove to this...
