The purfling is different. Its uniform on the back about 3/32" all the way around, however the Top purfling looks hand made. Its not uniform, the ebony(or other) is thicker in some places, and the...

My "new" Tyrolean/German bass:

I have recently aquired this German/Tyrolean bass from a friend. The bass is one of the best sounding basses I have yet had my hands on. Notes just seem to jump out of it, with a thickness to them...

I am not sure how that set would balance(Reg E with Solo A D G). Only one way to find out I guess... In my experience the Thomastik Solo strings do feel great tuned to Orch pitch, and aren't too...

You can get the Flexocore('92) in Weich or Thin gauge as well. Or you could buy a set of Belcanto Solo and tune them down to Orch. pitch.

Ken, I have owned 2 of these "faked" basses in the past. One(a smaller 5/8ths which I had started a thread on TB with) had an older top on it. I had that confirmed by Heinls. The other one was a...

When I had Chordas on my 7/8 Czech, the strings were at about 8 mm on the G and 12 on the E. I guess you could go a bit higher, but it was comfortable right there. I'll never understand how Blanton...
