Old three-stringer

[Adam Linz]

Man that thing is small if the scale length is correct. You sound like a tall guy and it probably wouldn't be good for you. Also it's gonna need a full restoration. Whole thing taken apart, insides gutted and re-done. Maybe you could put a little work into it and it could be a nice older bass for a junior high kid. With a scale length that short it's gonna be a hard sale even if it is restored. Interesting but, from the photos it doesn't look older than 1860's. the tuners look older, but who knows. Good luck and if you do restore it please post pics along the way, that way we all learn. Best, Adam Linz
