OK... I just sent an e-mail to Alistair about getting one of these beauties!!! You rapscallions twisted my arm and broke my anti-GASifying mindset...
Since I can't decide between the cobalt blue and the "chrome" I think I should leave it up to Alister to decide what he wants to build!!! Maybe one of each??? Now I'm just dreaming... |

I have a guitar on order from Alistair, not a double, but the turnaround time for a custom order is pretty good in my opinion. I think my deposit was confirmed in late January for an estimated May delivery.
While I love the Emeralds, I really couldn't justify a double with my funds, or skill level. Doubleneck - you need some carbon fabric for a backdrop for your pics. PM me with your info and I can send you some pieces if your interested. Last edited by CFW; 02-20-2013 at 07:07 PM. Reason: Poor typing on iPhone... |

Just received an response from Alistair,(within 24 hours!), about my Chiamera...What a pleasant experience!
He has sent a Miotas bass to a company in Australia as a prototype in a new "chrome" technique for finishes, and will then make a decision as to whether the new "Mirror Chrome" is feasible. The up charge will be about $1000 more, but IMHO would be AWESOME!!! But heck...if it dos'nt work out, the Cobalt Blue would be beautiful!!! Maybe by then we will get some more feedback on those new Obbligato saddles... |

Chrome!!! Wonder if that would work for my Praise Band!! Go for it!! That would be crazy cool.

I know I haven't played it since the 70s...Everyone would take the lead part on 6 string, then really cut loose on the strummed 12!!! I don't know who would sing though... |

Stairway is somewhat overplayed. Now, The Rain Song is a different story! I may video the Chimera playing that...
