True...but the fact remains that your ASS is still exceedingly ugly. Mine just happens to be uglier.

Slightly off-topic for Off Topic, but I played the monster today at school while accompanying a couple of student performances, and that sucker captured the Paul Chambers vibe so well it was scary.

A.S.S. Update: Last week was "Jazz Week" here at the university, with performances by the Ahmad Jamal Trio, Jacek and Woteck Niedziela (an excellent duo from Poland), and the Vanguard Orchestra. All of the bassists - (Jacek, Jim Cammack from Ahmad's trio, and Dennis Irwin from the Vanguard group) wanted to use the Standard in their performances, and all loved it to death. I'm still torn between selling it and trying to get a New Standard, or fixing it up, but it was great to see it back in action center stage.

Yes, Ray, people actually DO play it on gigs.

My New (old) American Standard Bass

Greetings All... I was just handed down an American Standard Bass that my Grandfather used to play back when he was in high school.

From most of the information I can find on American Standard Uprights the oldest known to exist is serial #40. The one that I just received is serial #16..

Below you will find links to a few pictures of it, I am curious if anyone can give me an idea of when it was made and any other details / information about this bass.

I just got a new set of strings on her and she plays like a champ! My first upright, and I have only been playing electric for a couple years .. So I have A LOT to learn!!

Thanks for your time!
