Needs some minor restoration (open seams & fixing the scroll due to an old school mechanical extension installation), and some tonal adjustments, But this bass is easy to play. Any info on this particular maker ?
Yes, I have heard of him but my books with the listings are in the office. I will look it up tomorrow and post the info.
