Play it Healthy Peter! sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 3235 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Friday, February 21, 2014 - 7:56 am:    O , YES ! ___ very , very nice _____ dadabass2001 Senior Member Username: dadabass2001 Post Number: 1790 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, February 21, 2014 - 9:32 am:    Excellent, Peter. It that a koa top, or maybe walnut? Anyway, she looks fabulous and I bet she sounds amazing. Congrats and thanks for sharing, Mike flpete1uw Advanced Member Username: flpete1uw Post Number: 252 Registered: 11-2011 Posted on Friday, February 21, 2014 - 10:33 am:    Thanks guy's, Mike the top is Koa and these pictures do not even come close to the reality. Examlpe, there are streaks of red orange that do not come through. The Zebrawood comes close but what you can't see is the small swirls. Shes sounds great now once I dialed her in and the Mothership's help and patience. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 8133 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Friday, February 21, 2014 - 5:23 pm:    It's THE Zebrawood. That was a mighty log and the only almost Bird's-eye Zebrawood we've every seen. Greg Lake's guitar was made of this same wood, and we all get a thrill every time we see something made from it. I think the tally is up to about 8 instruments that we have confirmed now. Juicy! dead_head Junior Username: dead_head Post Number: 31 Registered: 12-2013 Posted on Friday, February 21, 2014 - 8:45 pm:    That's beautiful,Peter! Enjoy it in good health!

Maybe the count will go to 9! I'll try to post pics.

I am all for seeing pictures of all these other zebrawood instruments. I've always like the look of Entwistle's zebra Series, too! flpete1uw Advanced Member Username: flpete1uw Post Number: 256 Registered: 11-2011 Posted on Sunday, February 23, 2014 - 6:19 am:    Oh No!! it looks like the pictures vanished! flpete1uw Advanced Member Username: flpete1uw Post Number: 258 Registered: 11-2011 Posted on Sunday, February 23, 2014 - 5:36 pm:    Moderators, the pics I posted seem to be gone, do I need to repost them? ~Pete flpete1uw Advanced Member Username: flpete1uw Post Number: 259 Registered: 11-2011 Posted on Sunday, February 23, 2014 - 6:23 pm:    I'll just post the pics again this time I hope the Birds eyes will come out clearer with the close-up. Peace, Pete flpete1uw Advanced Member Username: flpete1uw Post Number: 260 Registered: 11-2011 Posted on Wednesday, February 26, 2014 - 11:05 am:    OK I'm confused, is there a reason the pictures keep disappearing? artswork99 Moderator Username: artswork99 Post Number: 1957 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Wednesday, February 26, 2014 - 3:45 pm:    Pete, a software gremlin/bug does this, we've seen it quite a few times and I don't believe it's ever been discovered as to why. Sorry for the inconvenience. Art ps: you may try and post them into a separate message for each (that did help me once) or if you'd like to send me the photos I'll gladly post them to the thread.

He later turns them into real instruments with his power of manifestation ! He does exactly as any good Alchemist would do ! Consider it to be a complement on his part _____ artswork99 Moderator Username: artswork99 Post Number: 1958 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Wednesday, February 26, 2014 - 4:54 pm:    The best explanation I've heard yet ;) thanks Wolf! flpete1uw Advanced Member Username: flpete1uw Post Number: 262 Registered: 11-2011 Posted on Wednesday, February 26, 2014 - 5:05 pm:    Darn that little Alchemist Gremlim!! But Ha Ha! I was just playing this Bass and will confirm the Alchemist didn't steal her soul. I will do that Art Thank you artswork99 Moderator Username: artswork99 Post Number: 1959 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Wednesday, February 26, 2014 - 6:47 pm:    artswork99 Moderator Username: artswork99 Post Number: 1960 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Wednesday, February 26, 2014 - 6:48 pm:    artswork99 Moderator Username: artswork99 Post Number: 1961 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Wednesday, February 26, 2014 - 6:50 pm:    artswork99 Moderator Username: artswork99 Post Number: 1962 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Wednesday, February 26, 2014 - 6:51 pm:    flpete1uw Advanced Member Username: flpete1uw Post Number: 264 Registered: 11-2011 Posted on Thursday, February 27, 2014 - 5:10 am:    Thank you Art, Hopefully our little Alchemist friend will already have what he wants and leave these be. On a different light maybe he is creating a little sister for my girl. ;) Peace, Pete nnek Intermediate Member Username: nnek Post Number: 109 Registered: 8-2009 Posted on Thursday, February 27, 2014 - 3:17 pm:    Love the Koa! I have that zebra on mine and looking at the grain it looks like it may have been from a very near slice to yours flpete1uw Advanced Member Username: flpete1uw Post Number: 266 Registered: 11-2011 Posted on Friday, February 28, 2014 - 4:31 am:    Alchemist spotted! flpete1uw Advanced Member Username: flpete1uw Post Number: 267 Registered: 11-2011 Posted on Friday, February 28, 2014 - 4:35 am:    Ken, That Bass is Gorgeous; I often wondered what my Bass would look like with the Zebra Wood on the top. ~Pete sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 3243 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Friday, February 28, 2014 - 8:15 am:    Pete , Yes ,That is the crafty fellow at work .He might be manifesting in that shot ! He has been at if for a long time , and he has got some good chops to show for it ___ He can do stuff that is "Out of this World" , yet he has got the "Eyes of the World ". sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 3244 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Friday, February 28, 2014 - 8:39 am:    Played tricks again !

I wonder if this would be considered 'birdseye' zebrawood? The serial number is very close to the others. afrobeat_fool Senior Member Username: afrobeat_fool Post Number: 534 Registered: 7-2009 Posted on Tuesday, March 18, 2014 - 11:44 am:    Pete, I think it is very cool I sold you that persuader a few years ago, and now we both have a short scale series made from the same board! Enjoy! Nick flpete1uw Advanced Member Username: flpete1uw Post Number: 276 Registered: 11-2011 Posted on Tuesday, March 18, 2014 - 7:47 pm:    Hey Nick, The Persuader has moved on to more useful pastures. She did her job in persuading about Alembics and alas she is sold. Between this Series and a Distillate I'm grooving pretty well now. Dave that’s a beautiful “Birdseye” you got there! Maybe we need to start a Birdseye Zebrawood thread! Peace Pete flpete1uw Advanced Member Username: flpete1uw Post Number: 277 Registered: 11-2011 Posted on Wednesday, March 19, 2014 - 1:55 pm:    Nick, Do you have a link to your Bass? I would love to see it! Pete
