anyone interested at £1400

[Beedster]

Hey mate, just how BIG is the sound, I find myself in need of a loud rootsy instrument whilst my 4/4 is in the workshop. I've a 3/4 but it's a bit polite for my current needs. Does this thing really punch acoustically? Any issues/repairs at all? Where exactly in the Essex Blues delta are you?
Cheers
Chris

[slobluesine]

i would say she is extremely abusive, in a good way tho. the only repair i can see is the D tuner has had a knock and been soldered, im in North Essex CO9 3NU. come and play her.

[Beedster]

Hey John, could you let me have some dimensions, for example speaking length, total height, and the depth of the body (looks to be pretty even so measured anywhere should be OK)

Cheers

Chris

[slobluesine]

sorry for the late reply Chris, total height is 6ft (body is 43"), speak length 42" and body depth 8" at top to 81/2" at the bottom. call me if you need more info.

cheers john

[Beedster]

Thanks John, just gonna get the tape measure out on my big 4/4

[Beedster]

I wish I could justify another one

[slobluesine]

LOL, I agree John! If my Elysia sells I might go for it simply because I could leave the Framus at our rehearsal studio and not have to cart 'The Beast' about. I'm still very interested

[slobluesine]

size isnt everything Chris, less is more

[PaulKing]

Where did ya stumble on that John? Nice, though I can never get my head around the cutaway.
You still got the Kay (in your sig) ... didnt you sell that on?

I blame you for sending me off on vintage e-bass GAS y'know. Got 5 now...

[slobluesine]

long time Paul, im not here much these days, i found the Framus on Ebay ages ago just after i sold the Kay, the vintage bass guitars look very cool, i really like that Hofner President but wait til you get the old Fender gas
