Ok,  the first one is the 12th fret...

  The second is the 3rd fret...

 Wow,  they came out much better than I expected... It have been a dry winter and this reminds me that it is time for a little Lemon Oil...

A beautiful instrument under any angle and lighting. Koa, walnut and mahogany have a magical inner earth mojo that's just so organic. Perfect in combination with the vibe of the old school Alembic body shapes. My next Alembic will definitely be more retro (though I'm completely under the spell of my current MK Sig Dlx).

Beautiful bass, Kenn. The color in the oval inlays has a nice vintage look to them as well.

Thanks Kenn!  
Those inlays look beautiful. Such a lovely bass.

Thanks guys,  she is a sweetie and has been a part of our lives( I include my wife here for allowing us to go into debt for a few years to pay for her ) for a long time. And Sam,  roger, on the earthy quality of the woods. They have settled into each other very nicely. At one time I thought of giving her a rest, as she deserves and tried to go with my 5 string, but, I keep coming back home to her. Her pull is just way to strong for me.
  Thanks again...
