Chambers bass
I had always heard that Chambers took his big German Bass out of the back of a car , supposedly with Doug Watkins who was his cousin, and that the bass belonged to a player in one of the New York symphonies. The player tracked down his bass to Paul at a gig, but after hearing him play decided that he should keep it. Paul was a huge junkie and I guess his bass ended up in the pawn shop too many times. The other rumor is that Paul put that ladyhead on the bass himself. He literally sawed off the top of the scroll and glued her in? Maybe. Anyways Ken do you have any info on the whereabouts of Mr Chambers bass? Seems like such an important part of bass history and also I'm wondering if anyone else has heard these tales or is someone just blowing smoke up my ass? Best, Adam Linz

The label in the bass is a new faked copy from a book. The bass is Germanic. The outer linings are 100% German/Saxon in style. The bass is a 19th century instrument. A French bass from the 18th century would have a flat back and if an angle break would be there, it would be a copy of a viol d'gamba. I have seen pics of one small Boivin violone and it had violin corners. This bass is in no way French or from the 18th century as he claims. |
