From what I understand, all three basses now have the new bridge design.

Three, have i missed one? i thought he had short and medium scale 6 stringers.
The sound of Alembic is medicine for the soul!

Khaleesi was the first one, medium scale.
Next was the subject of the current thread, Balerion.
The third one was another shortscale, Dreamfyre

Completely spaced on Phil's birthday. Happy birthday Phil! Anyone going to the show at the Capitol Theater tonight?

As I get older, (68 next month), I am more and more amazed watching Phil keep it going for multi-night gigs, (current one is four shows in five nights) at the age of 83!  Happy Birthday, Phil.  Kick out the jams tonight!

Bill, tgo

Beautiful bass that looks delightful to play.  I'd love to know the nut width and bridge string spacing...

I think we settled on 1.9 for the nut with .55 spacing at the bridge.
