PaulKing Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I'm just showing off really, but I have to share my pleasure at having plywood like this knocking about in my house... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Some lovely porn ply there Paul, esp the blonde Please will you give me a slap lesson some time in exchange for beer/wine/whatever what with you being local like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShergoldSnickers Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 (edited) I don't often stray on this side of the bass stave tracks, but I'm glad I did. A luverly bunch you've got there. The family of a drummer I used to know had a German 3 string that was worth a fortune - this was back in the early 80s - and hearing it sparked a latent interest that has been left unsatisfied since.

Chunks Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I say that's a lovely blend of burst and binding on the first bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobVbass Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Sigh - isn't it amazing how jealousy spoils so many friendships Love the Framus and especiallly the Kay - I have some catching up to do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry norton Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Either you've got a very big house or a very sympathetic partner I'd love to take a close look at those sometime - I've not had much experience playing or repairing ply, except Chinese stuff and from what I've heard, the difference between Chinese and classic ply is like chalk and cheese.

PaulKing Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 I change my mind which is favourite on almost daily basis. Sometimes the Mortone looks stunning... doesn't really do justice this picture. But currently Framus and Kay are favourites. Got sent this page from an old Framus catalogue by Michael off DBC ... certainly looks like my bass on the right, except cutaway version obviously. Nice. ...

slobluesine Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 a swift smack with a baseball bat would get the cutaway effect i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swap you for two pickups Here's my two which are nothing like as porn-tastic - a c.20 year old Andreas Zeller 3/4 ply back/sides, which my old sadly-deceased tutor Phil Bates (Tubby Hayes, Stefan Grapelli) thought sounded excellent, and an Eminence removable neck EUB: [attachment=79973:DSCF2242.JPG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
