| My "New" Bass
I bought my new bass about a month ago, but have only gotten around to developing these photos now. Some of you may know about this bass because I got it from World of Strings in Long Beach, and I found it mentioned on this site in a couple of threads.
It's a 1934 Hawkes Concert model and has a label that reads "Boosey & Hawkes" instead of "Hawkes & Son". I guess this was the transitional period when the two companies were joined. The bass sounds totally amazing compared to my other bass which is a 1920's-ish Juzek.
BTW, if you ever get a chance, check out World of Strings. They have a great shop down there and Jon is a lot of fun to talk shop with. Oh yeah, they've got a ton of basses.

Going from my small 3/4 Juzek to this 7/8 body has been a bit of a challenge, but the neck has been reset and is suprisingly easy to get around. Let's just say that I sit while playing this bass a lot more than I did with the Juzek.
