JohnFitzgerald Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 The dull thud of Macca never quite did it for me, that's why the old violin bass never quite tugged at the heart strings. Now it does.

thebrig Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Just watched it, and found it fascinating too! Had to turn the volume down though, oh that music! Quote
warwickhunt Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Excellent! I've been after either one of these (possibly not the full blown German model) or more likely the SC version, for a while... inspired to look harder now! Quote
rogerstodge Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Brilliant, im gonna have to dig my epiphone back out the loft now. Quote
lettsguitars Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Very interesting. A few hand tools still in use I see. Good. Quote
Fitz666 Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Nice to watch but the most impressive bit was the guy with the glue bottle. Still wouldn't have one though.... Quote

markoire Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 what a brilliant vid. Loving all their tools. Facinating to watch. Thanks for posting! Quote
Low End Bee Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 I've always really fancied one of these. Too rich for my wallet though. Quote
tauzero Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 All you have to do is play one to rid you of these unwanted desires. Quote

[/quote] I suspect you're right. After all Paul originally bought it because Fenders were too expensive and left handed ones were even more expensive. For years he played other basses and for a long time played a Yamaha. Edited September 14, 2012 by gjones Quote

luckman67 Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 It's a great video & they are a good bass, had my 1964 500/1 for 24 years still going strong. Quote
Blademan_98 Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 I had one and sold it on. Not regretted it one bit lol Quote
gsgbass Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 An EKO from 1969. [IMG]http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u426/roadrex/Rock/violinbasscatalog-1.jpg[/IMG] Quote
