elom Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Watched 'School of Rock' on telly tonight and was interested in the bass that the girl was playing. I've no idea what it is though, but I'm sure someone here will. Both the guitars were Gibsons so I thought that maybe this might be too. Anyhoo, I've googled a photo of the bass: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obbm Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Looks like a Les Paul bass. or a derivative. There are Gibson and Epiphone versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Close but no cigar - the cutaway is a different shape, there are two "f" holes and the tuners have plastic buttons. It looks more like an old framus star bass to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Looking at the pictures i think it's some kind of Hofner Club Bass ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 (edited) I'm sure its a Framus Star Bass - look at the body shape & headstock on this one. The only difference I can see seems to be the pickguard: [url="http://www.framus-vintage.de/modules/modells/instruments.php?katID=4622&instrumentID=388&modellID=83&cl=DE"]http://www.framus-vintage.de/modules/model...ID=83&cl=DE[/url] Edited January 28, 2008 by Jean-Luc Pickguard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obbm Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 (edited) If it is a Framus Star Bass then it's the small body short scale version, not what Bill Wyman played. This was my 1963 Framus Star Bass extracted from the 1964 band picture Edited January 28, 2008 by obbm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onehappybunny Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 At the end of the movie she's apparently playing a DeArmond Jet Star, not unlike this one!!
