Well, that's about exactly what I had pictured, but what do you think of your new instrument?  The picture tells us that Alembic has built a 30.75 scale 6-string bass with a very dense neck.  The FTC thread further tells us it is strung an octave below a regular guitar, but no where do I see anything about it's amazing feel and sonic superiority.
 
Mike, please tell us about it subjectively and talk about the neck dimensions.  It does look pretty much like a scaled-up guitar in terms of string spacing.  Personally, I'd love to play it for a week or two or twenty or...

Dave, It's got Essence w/ Q electronics, and a TRS loop (jumpers set to pre-vol)..... the extra switch is a bypass for the loop.
 
Bob, this bass put my EBO and Jerry Jones bassVI into retirement. The Jerry Jones was 1.75 at the nut, and I could only play it with a pick. I placed the order w/ the JJ dimensions, but told Mica to err on the side of caution (bigger = better), but they wouldnt start until I figured out exatcly what I wanted & what would work.... We toyed around with a 2 nut and .45 spacing at the bridge, but the numbers wouldnt jive.... The bassVI string sets that are out there have an .084 for a low E (too thin, imo) and none of those strings were long enough to cover the length from post to tailpiece (the JJ is a 30 scale).....  
 
Finally, I bought strings in bulk ( .095-.030) and figured the neck dimensions relative to the strings. The nut is 2.15, and the bridge is 2.25. String spacing is .50. All in all, I couldnt have asked for a more comfortable neck.  
Once I use up all my strings, Im thinking about using a .100 for my low E.  
 
Sonically, this bass has all the characteristics you would expect from the woods used~ the fundamental is in your face, and the sustain goes on for days. The timbre of the attack transients is way higher than my maple necks~ very brisk and percussive.  
 
I could go on & on, but Im preaching to the choir. Simply stated: for my first custom I wanted to improve on a design that no manufacturer has really taken the time to get right. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but Alembic has done well by me....

Thanks, Mike.  While most of us old-timers could have predicted your answer, I think StudioRecluse will benefit from reading it.  
 
I actually have an .095 E on my current SS 4 and I think it both feels and sounds great.

Mike; it's a unique instrument in many ways!  Congrats!
