I don't actually possess this quite yet, but it's on it's way to me. I'm thinking Zebrawood (?) top, Mahogany body?

Hmm. Interesting. I think you may be onto something. Here are more detailed grain shots: and Very close match in appearance to this Tulipwood Essence. Thanks! |

Hello Tom, congratulations lovely looking bass. For me the Essence body shape is very comfortable to play also..... I think you have too many numbers in the serial. slawie (Message edited by slawie on April 07, 2016) |

Thanks, Slawie " I think you have too many numbers in the serial. " Yeah, I noticed that after posting. Unfortunately that's the number reported by the seller. When the bass arrives tomorrow, I will post the corrected serial number. |

Fortunately the previous owner had a pic of the actual Serial Number. It looks like the correct SN is 98K 11252 USA: Moderators, can you please change the subject of this thread to "98K 11252 USA" ? |
