Rare Vintage Harmony H27 Bass. circa 1960's **SOLD** £895

[phsycoandy]

[size=5][color=#000000][font=Arial]Made in the early 1960's I believe in Chicago USA. By The Harmony Company. Serial number on the sticker inside is: 7776.[/font][/color][/size]

[color=#000000][font=Arial][size=5]All original bar a control nut on one of the controls.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Arial][size=5]There is one knob missing as you can see. Also there is a ferrule missing on the G string machine head.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Arial][size=5]Other than that she is just lovely. Obviously there are some play marks and a few small dings here & there but nothing serious or structural.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Arial][size=5]Please don't expect a mint instrument but she is in remarkable condition really. The bound neck shows just a little fret wear, the rear of the neck is lovely with just one light mark towards the body. The tortoiseshell finished head stock is in fine condition with just the usuel finish marks etc around the top, but no damage.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Arial][size=5]She plays well, some of the controls are a little noisy so probably wants a good service and setup and the earth needs some attention. Currently strung with ancient flat wounds. She has a lovely warm tone on the neck pickup and the bridge one has a real honk to it. The plastic switch tip is missing, but the switch works fine.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Arial][size=5]The front strap button has been moved at some to the other lower side so there is a screw hole.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Arial][size=5]So overall for a near 60 year old bass she is lovely. She needs a little TLC but is a player and can be used as is. There is no case or bag but I do have a proper shipping carton.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Arial][size=5]If you want more specific pictures mail me. Shipping £25. UK.[/size][/font][/color]
