seifregno Posted November 28, 2018 Posted November 28, 2018 Bass in very good conditions. One of the most beautiful sounds of '70 era, rich and warm, but it is also able to be very scratchy and rude;) specs: - Mahogany body and neck (but reinforced with carbon). - Ebony fretboard. - 34 "stairs. - Neck pickup: individually output-adjustable coils for each string! - Rubber damper - bridge vol + tone, neck vol + tone - Pickup selector switch - mono output - stereo output https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wovLoyU4tlg 3

I'm amazed Ovation already used carbon back in the 70's: is it the black part of the neck's back ? What is the weight, please?

Yes; plus I believe there are another 2 carbon strips under the fingerboard Necks are rock solid on these - I've got one. Amazing condition on the OP's !

synthaside Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 The chap who started ovation did it as an side to his other company making / designing helicopters for the US army , https://www.kaman.com/ if you look at the neck stamp it says Ovation a kaman company , ( as does my Magnum IV ) he had been a life long guitarist but was an engineer first businessman second and guitarist third., shame he's not more well known https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Kaman Experimenting with ABS , inventing the roundback accoustic guitar hell the bridge system on our basses puts the golden gate to shame and its got more mass than it ;-)
