Happy Birthday Leo

We wouldn't be where we are without you...

[Lozz196]

Indeed, good call Mick

[Bassassin]

Yes we would. It would just be a slightly different place.

For those not knowing it, it's the very first electric bass, an Audiovox Model 736 Bass Fiddle, invented by Paul Tutmarc in 1935.

Proud to share my birthday with Mr F - and to own and play several of his P-Bass variants.

While I was looking for a decent Audiovox pic, I came across an interesting luthier who appears to have created a range of contemporary Tutmarc designs from a Leoless alternate reality!
