For those of you that are interested, here is the original TB link...
Strunal Model 50/4 3/4 Size Bass
The only difference from the original thread description is the pickup. The Underwood was swapped out for a Fishman BP-100. I've used the upright on two gigs and the Fishman worked and sounded great through a PA and a proper bass amp.
PLEASE NOTE: Though I would rather trade for the gear I'm interested in, I'm willing to sell for $1400 in Eastern Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire, or that + gas money to most places in the Northeast U.S.A. (Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Deleware, D.C) and Canada (Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia)
