I got my first upright!

[The_Owl]

After playing electric bass for 12 years, and upright for 2, I fnally got my first upright today!

It's a solid bass, 3/4 with flat back, ca 1920: (sorry for the goofy pics, been up since 5 AM, it's 10 PM here now)







I'm very satisfied!

Looks pretty! When was it refinished? Congrats and enjoy your first DB! Are you a lefty or are pics reversed?

I think it was recently, because it has been repaired with plexiglass as well. Recently as in the last 10/20 years.

No, I'm not a lefty, it's just Photo Booth playing tricks!

BTW, can anyone recommend a pickup/preamp? I'll mainly be playing jazz, pizzicato!

Plexiglass?

Look weird backwards like that.

Ooops, I meant fiberglass, obviously....too late to be making sense!

The backwards thing is thanks to Photo Booth in OSX!

I dunno really, but it sounds good, which is all that matters to me! The seller wasn't sure himself...

Excellent. I am hoping to join this side of TB officially fairly soon as well.
