I thought I saw somewhere there is a new Wilfer in town, Roland or something like that?

Where is this Shönbach? I don't see it on a map anywhere.

The new name is Luby, just across the German border from Markneukirchen.

Your Bass I think is from Bebenreuth in northern Bavaria, where the Wilfers moved to after WWII. Hofner and Framus moved there as well by then.
