Beautiful!!  
 
No filters?  There have been some very interesting series basses being built lately. Will Gunn's custom is another one that comes to mind.

This is one was inspired by Will's.

Will and all at Alembic have been nothing but insprirational in the design for this bass.  
Looking forward to progress on and continued support on the build of another unique bass... only by the masters at Alembic!
 
Superfilter-ing my two current Alembic basses, and this bass will also be a refinement from them, just sounds awesome.  
 
Mica: Looks great -  including the almost flame characteristics of the dark African Mahogany core. Thanks to all, I appreciate the kind words.

I see a wizards face on the top (Gandalf).  Beautiful!

Sweet... Thanks for the updates - nice to see the progress -- keep the pictures coming!
 
BTW: Mica, I\m thinking Black Tahitian MOP (oval fingerboard) inlays to match that Ebony neck lam........
 
                Wait till the finish hits!
