Apparently the straplocks do not necessarily go on after the humcanceller is secured in place. But I'm OK with that..
 
Another snapshot (hanging out with one of the old gang) ...
 

Beautiful bass! The extra string is the only thing keeping me from a severe bout of jealousy  
 
I just love walnut. I finally played a Balance K  Alembic recently and as I long suspected that is my favorite body shape both visually and comfort wise. Looking forward to your reactions when the wait is over and you have it in your hands.

I just saw this very bass yesterday. Definitely a standout of what's in Santa Rosa right now. It was kind of fun to see it right next to the one that's behind it, very old school!
 
Enjoy, it won't be long now!

And the coveted sofa reclining shot:
 

Adriaan, your bass is amazing, and I agree with Edwin, so very cool to see it hanging there next to one of the first few dragon hatchlings come home to roost. I know that particular bass well... it's the very one that finally cemented my resolve to order a custom. Many many nights I laid awake pondering- restore vintage classic or build new classic?  
 
No regrets, but I'm delighted to see it's being fixed, and now that your wait is almost over I'd imagine you're quite tickled as well!  =)
 
Congratulations & Compliments, however premature.

Congrats!
 
Now how about that European Alembic meeting? :-)

Gregory - yes, tickled pink, or at least nearly there!
 
Flip - any plans?

Very nice!  I noticed there is no pickup selector. What are the electronics?

They are Series II, but without a pickup selector.

She's gorgeous Adriaan! Congratulations!

Congrats Adriaan!  Wonderful!

woowwwwwwwwwwwwoowwwwwooo gorgeus

I could buy it !! the tailpiece are now centered curiously from several months on all basses I see.... congrats, very nice art work !

I've had a preview of some glamour shots that Mica took, and if you think she's looking gorgeous now, well you ain't seen nothing yet!
 
Word is that she is being picked up at the mothership for shipment later today. Hm.
 
IT WILL BE HERE IN A MATTER OF DAYS! (Pardon my loudness.)

Very beautiful, prachtig ding Adriaan!
