Tusknia Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 At the right price, not the £1300 they want for one on soundslive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonBassAlpha Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I've never really liked the look of Zebrano. I think it looks tacky, especially on a copy. Might look ok on a nice bespoke bass though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For £1,299 you could get a lot more for your money. Still would like a thunderbird in white though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lfalex v1.1 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I hope it's chambered or something. Zebrano weighs a ton. Good tone, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good tone, though![/quote] It's only the wings which are zebrano, it will be heavier than a regular mahogany thunderbird but I don't think by enough to warrant chambering. Might actually help it balance better with the body being a bit heavier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would look better if the front was continuous Zebrano. That just looks wrong to me. And tacky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] +1, it would look much better if it was continuous zebrano, rather then 2 pieces glued to a different wood in the middle.
