Can't believe one of these is on eBay. Paul's Grandson must be stony broke :(

If you don't know the Tutmarc Bass Fiddle story here's a link but bottom line is Paul Tutmarc invented the electric bass decades before St Leo :)

This piece by Paul Jr is a better piece on the Tutmarc bass and even includes the early adverts.

Couple of TB links (beware contains Fender fanboi butthurt comments)

That's genuinely, properly remarkable to see one of these turn up. Don't think I've ever seen decent , detailed pics before either.

Can't help thinking Tutmarc Jr would be better off selling it in a proper auction or offering it to genuine collectors rather than through the Fleabay meatmarket.

I totally agree @Bassassin,would have thought he'd have tried Gruhn's in Nashville. Must really need cash in a hurry, he joined the US site on Friday to give the heads up then posted the link next day. All seems rather rushed. 

If it's genuine, he'll probably do better selling on the 'Bay than to Gruhn.
