Silvia Bluejay Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 The modern version is made by Warwick and is still called Triumph (or Triumph Lite in the cheaper Rockbass line). The old and new versions do look very similar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I love the shape of these - I have a 'thing' for mid-C20th design and this ticks so many boxes. One of these (I think it was one of these, anyway) came up recently and sold for around £800. And that was too much for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer of the Bass Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I also really like the aesthetics of these. I'd want to put together a kitschy little lounge jazz trio with the drummer on a sparkly cocktail kit and the keyboard player on some sort of 60s German electric piano like a Hohner or Weltmeister. Matching suits, of course... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scojack Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Velvet safari suits and big collars! I love the formica they used to build these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
