Pete,
That's one sweet Cocobolo Distillate you have! If it ever needs a new home, I've got dibs!

When you do decide on a price for this, please PM me. I am very interested and since Jazzyvee just outbid me for a shorty from down under I've got one less Alembican who will be trying to get to your door before me.

And I'm from the north country (Minnesota) Land of Prince, Husker Du, the Replacements, and of course, Bob Dylan. That should count for something.

Wow, an elicit feeding frenzy!
Paul, it took me to long to get everything right and that Distillate might go to my grave.

However that Birdseye Series looks like it might find a new coop by Thanksgiving. ;-)

Pete

I think this might have been made with the famous That birdseye zebrawood that Mica called it and was from a log that was used on several fine bass guitars around that era!

Thanks guys...just opened up this thread as I was sitting down for dinner and had to smile...you guys have alot of fun together! We live in Grand Rapids MI...I spoke with a vintage guitar guy out of Malibu CA today, He's encouraging me to hold on to it...but this bass needs to be played. Will be making a descision in the next week or so. I really appreciate all your experience and encouragement! Greg

Yeah Greg,
That's it, The Zebrawood that's one sweet looking bass!
Boy that would look nice hanging next his brother.
Mine was cut from the same piece of wood.
Thanks for sharing this!
Pete

Then, Pete, you'd have stereo-stereo basses!

Looks like Bocate to me. I have similar looking wood on my Europa 5.

It is quite striking whatever wood it is, and the choice used for the head stock is pretty sweet as well.

Yep, I am the vintage guitar guy from Malibu. He just needed a quick rundown on what he had, and current values for used Series I basses. I hope you are able to find a home for it now that you have made up your mind to sell it. Unusual to have dot inlays in the fingerboard.

Since a number of us are all VERY interested in Greg's bass the more salient question might be where will it find a new home. I'm hoping it stays in the Midwest.

I'm not much of a zebrawood, plain Jane chaser, but I do adore short-scale Alembics with Series electronics in them. They are no joke, serious players, good for most any style needed,and woods settled in for decades, so . . . . So solid bids around the $5,000 slide are no problem and all done deals called with me are just that. I've never pulled out of a done deal yet. However if Michael is in this game, deal me out. I won't step on his toes round here on a bass he is interested in. Seniority has it privileges . . .
