WOW! Dueling basses! Looks like another instrument made with a slice from the same flamed Zebra Tree mentioned in this thread

Anyone know the serial number for this particular bass?

THAT is great. I'm sure John made it clear to Pete: no smashing. Ha!

The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin
That's what I said.
The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand
Or so I have read.
My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo.
I love to sink her with my pink torpedo.
Big bottom
Big bottom
Talk about bum cakes,
My gal's got 'em.
Big bottom,
Drive me out of my mind.
How can I leave this behind?
I saw her on monday, twas my lucky bun day
You know what I mean.
I love her each weekday, each velvety cheekday
You know what I mean.
My love gun's loaded and she's in my sights
Big game's waiting there inside her tights
Big bottom
Big bottom
Talk about mud flaps
My gal's got 'em.
Big bottom
Drive me out of my mind.
How can I leave this behind?

So Kenny Jones is sittin' back there thinking, 'I bet he doesn't windmill THAT thing' and 'gee, Woody and Rodney were WAY more fun than these blokes!'.
