Lee Carter Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Hi, This was the first bass I ever bought and I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on it's make/model...history. It was bought for me in 1990 for my 18th Birthday, the only marking on it is the CL (LC?) markings on the headstock. Any info gratefully received Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Carter Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 I wish, I guess that's why it was bought for me...many years ago now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Burpster Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) It's an Ovation for sure, but not sure which model. It looks like a fore runner of the Viper that I had.... Or a copy thereof.... Edited February 4, 2013 by The Burpster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el borracho Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I think it's a Clarissa - they were Italian made if my memory is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick's Fine '52 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Ovation/Celebrity copy. don't know the maker though? There was a company from Germany knocking these out a few years back?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Unusual tuner arrangement, commonly these types have 2 on each side like the genuine Ovations, not sure I've seen a '3+1' on these type of designs before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
