It's a slow day this Sunday and my Brain which is always ticking just came up with.. 'What do we call this Bass?"..
I don't mean the actual maker or even the School of making which by the way the 'Hill School' was just mentioned to me while looking at the Bass in general and the style of the FFs.
I am looking for a new Web Page description for this Bass. For instance, I have a beautiful Pollmann that is from Mittenwald which is an area in Bavaria. I named it "
Bavarian Beauty". I also have a nick name for
my Gilkes which is not in print. Because he worked for the Royal maker William Forster and because the wood, workmanship and condition which I attribute partially to the care that has been givin to it over time, I call it "
The Royal Gilkes".
So, for this one I have been thinking about a name and something just popped into my head a few minutes ago. I know this is more of a game type post than anything factual but combining the size, quality, believed origin and the gentle corners upper and lower which are quasi Guitar/Cornerless, the name "
English Gamba Supreme" came to mind.
So, what name would you like to give it? Don't be shy. Have a little fun and throw your two cents in..
