Can't wait to see the pictures then.

I will try to post some tonight. I can't wait to get home a play it. HMM HMMM I think I feel my throat getting sore...might be the flu.... I'd better go home from work early...wouldn't want to give anybody else the FLU. ;-)

This bass has what looks like a toungue oil finsih on the neck. My other MK has a finished neck on it. WHat should I clean this neck with?

Olie,
It's probably not a different finish, but instead where Alembic rubbed out the gloss/poly finish for their satin finish neck. Someone gave me a bottle of Flitz polish and I used it on my bass' glossy finished body and satin neck with equally fine results.

Michael:
 
Are you sure you used Flitz polish on the body and neck?  Flitz is a metal polish for the brass parts.  I would suspect that it would be much too abrasive for the instrument body.  
 
Bill, tgo

Hey Michael, I believe you're right. I do like the Balance K body style better than my other MK. It is MUCH lighter. I can't wait to get home and play it. MAn is it 5 oclock yet!

tick...

Crgaston....you're right. that's what I get for thinking after the week I've been having I meant the supreme polish Alembic offers......shoot me please....

Hey, I ain't Crgaston and I don't believe in shooting.  Now go polish that bass and use some Flitz on the brass while your at it!  LOL
 
Bill, tgo

Well, I've never been mistaken for a prominent California attorney before.
 
 
Hey Olie, don't forget to eat dinner!  You can't be passing out and dinging up you new bass!

Well I held out, even went by the gym on the way home and worked out for an hour. Ate dinner, then went into my music, tuned it up, plugged it in and I am now convinced that I have some more work to do on the 98 Mk with the Eurpoa elects I bought a month ago. This bass THUMPS!!!!

Bill, tgo...see what I mean...it's been that bad. Charles, I hope you're not offended. I'd hate to mistakenly infer anything about another guy's shorter scale length and all...
 
Hey, Olie! When are you inviting me over? lol, I promise not bring any Flitz or anything else abrasive, how about a six pack of Barg's or A&W instead?
 
ok, I'm going to go get some sleep now before I mistake myself for someone else, too.

Thats what I'm talkin'bout Michael! A SIX PACK (of rootbeer) a new Alembic and Hours on end in my Music Room! WWJD?........ ....tell me to  play it son...

Root beer, the bassist choice.
 
ah, I need some sleep....

Hey Michael, I had to go on the wagon. No root beer for the next 4-5 weeks. Gotta loose a few pounds before I go on vacation!  LOL
