A Beautiful Bass .  
  Congratulations !

What a sweet and gorgeous little monster!  Play it hard and in good health, Karen!
 
I love everything about this bass, from the purpleheart to the mahogany body/neck and the little pinstripes.
 
Stunningly cool!

Wow - that's a nice bass. The neck laminations are especially striking.

You see... drummers are frustrated bass players!
Nice instrument, bet it sounds as good as it looks

Another congrats on a beautiful bass. I especially like the neck neck combo, very tasty and I bet it sounds like a powerhouse!

Very Cool!

I especially love the story behind this bass.  Those awesome neck lams don't hurt either!  Those pinstripes are beautiful.

Congratulations Karen. It is a lovely instrument.

Beautiful bass!!  Congrats Karen!!
 
The body is an especially nice piece of Mahogany.  The Essence shape looks wonderful in Purpleheart.  And the neck combination is exquisite.  I love this bass!  Excellent choice for Featured Custom!

Nice Bass and cool Wood combinations! Wonderful neck recipe, I\ll bet that has authoritative tone.  
 
Beautiful Abalone fingerboard inlays!!
Congrats on the Featured Custom.

diggin this one...keeping it simple yet very custom.i like it.

Cool, cool bass.  
 
The extra cover plate on the back is interesting.  What's up there?  I've never seen an Alembic backplate with ears like that either.  
 
Will the purpleheart top stay purple forever like that or does it change to that really cool reddish brown that you see in neck lams of old instruments?  The top of this bass is really extremely purple.
 
A friend of mine who competes in concours exhibitions with his car has told me before that the high grades of sandpaper like 3500 actually are smoother than paper short of glossy clay coated printing papers.

I suspect that's a separate battery compartment. The wings on the LED battery compartment? Couldn't say why on that.
