Lord Sausage Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 All i can say is WTF and where do the strings come from!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 I assume they are double bass strings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer of the Bass Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I reckon the mystery strap button will be behind the 7th fret-line, as a sort of tactile marker to double bassists who are used to the heel being there. It certainly appears to have double bass scale length and strings. I think somebody couldn't afford a Framus Triumph and had a go at making their own.
