Redirect this one to a charitable luthier or student orchestra?
I sometimes read stories about youth orchestras here and abroad that make due with modest instruments in an effort to teach children to play music.

I owned a couple of those Ampeg Portoflex amps and they were great. My first one was lost in a fire along with a Fender Precision and a plywood upright. The second one had "The Royals" etched into...

Group photo?
Michael Hartery sent the link to the Chicago bass after seeing mine in person. So, that one is sold or off the market but there are three or maybe even more. Maybe we can meet sometime for a group...

Nope, there are three
I stilll have mine and I think the third is still in Chicago. As far as I know, there's no label in mine. Carl's bass does not have outer linings but they look like cousins if not sisters, to me.

Yes, that's the right store and they know nothing about basses. I looked at two and don't recall which one had a string length of about 41.5 and the other had 42 inches. I was looking on behalf of a...

More pictures
I thought I'd share the pictures in the off chance it might be rescued by some idealist with deep pockets or the required skills. It is a smallish bass (they're calling it a church bass) but with a...

Ken,
I sent these pictures to Arnold and borrowed his reply for the title of this posting. Sadly, it would cost a fortune to restore this bass and they're asking $7,800!

I have not done a good job communicating the information, I guess. The heel pics are before and after and I should mark them as such. Someone had commented that the bass was "beautiful" so I thought...

Ken,
The bass used in my Talkbass ID is the carved bass with the odd button you saw at Arnold's. I just wanted folks to understand that it was not the one for sale but the hybrid was. Yes, it has...

Go East, young man. Maybe you can see a few more basses and take the best one home with you. I don't know how Jet Blue and Virgin-America treat basses but it may be better than shipping it by truck.

My bass has that carving
It visited Arnold in 2010 so it may be the one you saw there, Ken. When I picked up my bass, Arnold showed me the bass he had built for you.
Because he had not seen that carving before, Arnold...
