wesfinn Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 Does anyone on ehre own an early framus triumph by any chance? I'm restoring a black 56 model at the moment which is missing the chrome plate and bridge assembly. As getting the parts for these is pretty impossible Im going to get some made so need to get the correct measurements. PM me if you can help! thanks Quote
waldemar Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 Might seem like a really obvious suggestion, but there's this one up on ebay at the mo: [url="http://cgi.ebay.com/FRAMUS-TRIUMPH-Upright-Electric-Bass-1950s-VINTAGE-/110604133706?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19c085254a"]http://cgi.ebay.com/FRAMUS-TRIUMPH-Upright...=item19c085254a[/url] It may be worthwhile dropping the seller a line and asking him for a few details/extra pics. I've done this in the past with a reasonable amount of success - some will help, others won't bother answering. Worth a go, though. w./ [quote name='wesfinn' post='1005171' date='Oct 29 2010, 01:45 PM']Does anyone on ehre own an early framus triumph by any chance?

wesfinn Posted October 29, 2010 Author Posted October 29, 2010 cheers man, didn;t see that one on the bay! heres some pix of the bass. the fingerboard was in bad shape a lot of the nitro paint had chipped of over the years and the board had some string dents. there were also some gaps in the join seams which needed re glueing with hide glue. I have now shot the board with a leveling block and the first coats of black nitro have been added. Quote
waldemar Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 Wow - that looks like a resto-project and a half..! Good luck with it, man. I hope you get the measurements you're after and that all the work goes smoothly! w./ Quote
Clarky Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 This guy was selling a Warwick Triumph - do they have the exact same dimensions as the Framus (of which I understand its a replica/copy) in which case you could drop him a PM?
