Holy smokes! What a sound!! I did a gig last night with the ZB through a SF Deleuxe Reverb loaded with a JBL D120 recone. The amp was going through the PA. It was tone to the bone! Wow!
Thanks for the tip Kevin. The E seems to be returning close enough for rock'n'roll!
Just sharing and keeping the thread alive!

I went to see Greg Jones in Renfro Valley last Friday and he brought Tom Brumley's SD-11 that he now owns. It sounded real sweet! I had a great time listening to Greg play and talking steel...I just wish I had more time to hang out...Oh well, back to work!

I likes pitchers wit git-TARS in 'em. I think I even gots some of a younger Andy seen below:
<img src=http://home.earthlink.net/~efgacb/siteb ... 101zba.jpg>
But the appeal here isn't Andy's almost-hidden J-200, the Fender bass that I can't tell if is a P- or a J-, or even Sally Shearer 's vitchen Vox...It's George's stunning 20 strings of natural sonic spendor:

Writing on the back of the photo: "Rolling Green, Labor Day, Sept. 2 1968"
If we could find Zane's daughter's list of early ZB's (link now disabled), I wonder it we could find this one on it?

Hey ben
The student model on the post card was a good playing steel. I know because I designed and built it. The body was hard wood (maple). They changed a lot of things on it after I moved back to Bakersfield, trying to make it less expensive to build. I have a picture of it that we took in my office right after I finshed it. Anyway the one on the post card played real good.

A little help please guys... I'm buying this guitar, I was told that it was bought in '67. I've played a '72 ZB, can expect the same tone, anything you can tell me about ZBs of this year will be much appreciated.

Hey Joe,
If you want "that sound" you just bought it. That is one beautiful ZB. It looks like my #0093, Bakersfield 1969 ZB, but mine has been refinished. I swear that it will sound better, or at least have a sound that you have never heard before, even better than the old Marlen.
I still haven't learned to work on mine too well, though.

In a past post faye had a site that listed
serial numbers of Zb's and dates and original
owners.
I tried it today and it no longer works.
anyone have a different site?
Also I just bought a BMI s10 that zane built
would love to know the history on it
Its number 546 anyone have any info on it
or maybe faye's email address she may have
some records on it
Thanks Russ
