Hello, If anyone has a moment, looking to get a gig bag for an archtop bass recently bought without case. It is a japanese version, similar to guild Starfire / Jack Cassidy shape. Thanks for your time.

Dudes, is there any way to upload pix from phone or from local computer memory? I'd like to show db4124 the 40096 I just got...extremely similar. Thx

I believe conrad nameplates ran from 1968~1978..

When I googled the model number, the vintage guitar guide popped up which helped as well. http://books.google.com/books?id=o_SLwpadkxgC&pg=PA298&lpg=PA298&dq=conrad+40096&source=bl&ots=yP19MpZ6n_&sig=Do9j4hhDGLubnbe3Z-PmVnet0M4&hl=en&sa=X&ei=_h0OU8idOaaysQTl6IH4DQ&ved=0CC0Q6AEwCA

I just meant the comparison chart with pix...it helped me some, although there seems to be a lot of variability in model styles and hardware. I couldn't find any serial # data. My original best guess for the semihollow I just acquired was a model 5020...turns out it is a 40096....wish I could...

See how you do here....www.matsumoku.org

Cool Dude...I like it...I've never seen any literature on Conrad being made by other than Matsumoku, but I'm not surprised.

Dating is off the serial and model...it won't be any newer that late 70s if it is conrad/matsumoku.

Depends on what you're after...with all the variables in the models and your description of the condition, kinda comes down to what u want it for and how much u want it. If a typical one in the vintage book goes for say $150~200, then less than 80 sounds like the right direction...

Hello all, just picked up a Conrad 40096 archtop bass, only needs a little tweaking. I jumped on this axe as I missed my vintage Guild Starfire II, which was stolen years ago. Had forgotten how unique the sound is with these...glad to have one back

Hello, I can see this is an older string of posts, but wanted to ask if anyone might take a moment and chime in on whether they found a good hardshell case solution for their archtop bass. I just picked up a Conrad 40096, which looks just like db4124's axe. Thank you for your time.
