casapete Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Caught the end of the One show last night on BBC1, and The Lumineers were performing. They had an unusual bass, which after a bit of Googling turns out to be a Citron Byron , made for bassist Byron Isaacs. Am guessing this is a one off ?

There's also a guitar version, T Bone Burnett was using one on Nashville. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatrickJ Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 It needs one of those scroll heads, like the old Ampeg basses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baxlin Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Didn’t John Rostill's Burns Bison "Shadows" Bass have a scroll head? As did Marvin's ana Welch's guitars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
