Hawkes & Son.. (The Official KSB Hawkes Bass Discussion Thread)

[Matthew Tucker]

Received into workshop a nice "Hawkes Panormo" model roundback for restoration.



very nice smooth Baker style tuners






Has the H purfling, no outside linings, and a roundback.



It's in for scroll graft and badly needed top restoration. Back, ribs and blocks are in excellent condition.




The top is pretty funky. Lots of important cracks and a full edging required. And probably a new bassbar with cleats under!



It has some labels inside. But before showing these, knowing what we know in this thread so far, where do you reckon this one was made? (as if it matters to anyone but bass nerds)
