duckman Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Always loved Curlees. The Curbeck was their De-Luxe flagship bass (together with the rare Summit). The 'standard 1' was the more popular S D Curlee bass in the seventies, but I always found the walnut/maple stripe body visually more striking/appealing. Very popular in Germany and Belgium in the mid to late seventies. Although the 32 1/2 inch neck is bolted onto the body it is technically also a neck trough, since the bridge is mounted in the neck. Rather unique, I would say. Birdsong revived the brand a while ago and is producing updates of these "poor man's Alembics. (The ashtray on this bass BTW is not original.) Good luck with the sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W1_Pro Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Hello there. Lovely bass. Always had a soft spot for these. Would you be kind enough to post a picture of the bridge without the ashtray? I'm trying not to be interested in buying this, but I really am......:0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W1_Pro Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 This might be a really stupid question- but it looks to me like the walnut stringers go right through the neck- so you can see them under the strings. Is that correct or am I imagining things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzardian Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 yes they go through there is no separate finger board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrythe8 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) No, you're not imagining things. There is no "fingerboard" per se, the neck is the fingerboard. The trussrod has been installed via the skunkline in the back of the neck. This is a hell of a bass, neck plays like a dream, 44mm nut but very slim, very low action recommended. *Buzzardian was faster* Edited August 24, 2016 by Henrythe8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
