Squared corners (Dodd)
Anybody have some good detail photos of those big squared-off corners, or want to comment on what the deal was with that? Was is exclusive to Dodd? I can't think of another bass that I've seen made that way, at the moment anyway...

no..
I have seen Forster Basses with them too. It was a style for a brief period.

Daniel Hachez builds his basses with a similar corner style, inlaying ebony between the rib ends.

The picture doesn't show it too well, but this is the sort of corner treatment that seems to appear on Forster basses - and that's probably why this one is attributed to Forster - not sure which Forster they're going for though!

corners
The corners are usually more blunt than that. These corners look quite pointy as compared to the others I have seen.

The bass was, and still is I think, for sale from Turner's here in the UK. I tried it when I was looking for mine. It's certainly a fine instrument with a great sound, but a little lacking in depth and substance I thought. They describe it as labelled and attributed to Forster, but I seem to remember that the "labelled" bit referred to some repair label. The reinforcements on the corners are certainly very similar to those on Forster basses shown in Elgar's book - but we all know how dubious some of his attributions are!

more like this?
Now these are what I call blunt corners! Is that what Thomas had in mind? These are on my bass - attributed English
