Would love to know as much about it as possible. Thanks in advance. backdoor_hippie New Username: backdoor_hippie Post Number: 10 Registered: 9-2012 Posted on Wednesday, October 10, 2012 - 10:40 am:    Finally got around to getting some photos taken. There's some really nice, subtle curly figure to the top that just won't photograph well, and some great figure to the back which looks a lot like koa. Almost makes me wish the sides had been reversed!! Here you go. pierreyves Senior Member Username: pierreyves Post Number: 1107 Registered: 11-2006 Posted on Wednesday, October 10, 2012 - 11:38 am:    keep quiet & cool, be relax... backdoor_hippie Junior Username: backdoor_hippie Post Number: 12 Registered: 9-2012 Posted on Wednesday, October 10, 2012 - 11:46 am:    ?? terryc Senior Member Username: terryc Post Number: 2001 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Wednesday, October 10, 2012 - 12:39 pm:    A nice bass indeedy!!!! charles_holmes Intermediate Member Username: charles_holmes Post Number: 197 Registered: 3-2009 Posted on Wednesday, October 10, 2012 - 2:01 pm:    Slick axe!

Is it a 34. I have posted pictures in the pictures playing your alembic thread. backdoor_hippie Junior Username: backdoor_hippie Post Number: 13 Registered: 9-2012 Posted on Wednesday, October 10, 2012 - 8:12 pm:    It is a 34". The guy I got it from says he's had it since '97 or so. rcowart Junior Username: rcowart Post Number: 15 Registered: 6-2012 Posted on Thursday, October 11, 2012 - 5:23 am:    Well you have one fine bass there. Much joy it will bring you. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 7868 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Thursday, October 11, 2012 - 3:48 pm:    Until I get to the lookup, I'm going to guess the top to be Purpleheart and the back to Shedua. But we will see what the record says. backdoor_hippie Junior Username: backdoor_hippie Post Number: 14 Registered: 9-2012 Posted on Friday, October 12, 2012 - 5:49 am:    Cool - thanks Mica!!
