I was too preoccupied with the angle of the Low E past the nut and the general placement of the tail piece/bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Bolton Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 A translation of the the item description: "Very interesting prototype E-bass out of German fabrication out of the 60er-Jahren, probably of Framus or Klira. The bass does not sound very good and fat more Hingucker- and show effect goes. A very special instrument for very special people." They're not wrong!

Deep Thought Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Is that a bass or a can opener? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Burpster Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I believe this is the first time I've said this....... but.... The case is prettier than the bass! Thats sure is one ugly fother mucker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TheBigBeefChief Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Strange really. Pretty much any bass posted here, no matter how bad, will have at least one fan on the forum. Could this be the first bass (maybe topic??) that everyone is in agreement with? Even I can't pretend to like it, even to be controversial.

Happy Jack Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 The tailpiece could be genuine - it's pretty generic - and the pickup could quite easily be from a real Framus. The neck looks like a butchered version of the necks used by Framus, Klira and Hofner during the 60's. The rest of it is home-made crap of the worst sort. Herr Framus (or Herr SturmbannOberGruppenFuehrer Framus for that matter) is probably spinning in his proverbial at being associated with that thing.

spinynorman Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 (edited) It's in the Rare and Vintage section of their shop. Actually they've put it up before, some time ago. Didn't sell then, for some reason I can't explain. Edited January 14, 2008 by spinynorman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s_u_y_* Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 U-G-L-Y, that bass certainly does not have an alibi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tait Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 that is sooo ugly! how can anyone in their right mind like that? no one is EVER going to buy it. on a more serious note- why does it need a control plate and a rear cavity? is it just this bass or are there others like that?

warwickhunt Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 If that is a Framus prototype then technically it is a Warwick prototype... even I 'kin hate that Warwick! Oh and if it is a Warwick then in the present bass selling economic climate it's worth precisely eleventy twelve pence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
