only hang it up when you're NOT HAVING FUN ANYMORE!!!! Music keeps our brains limber and it's great for the soul. It won't pay your mortgage, but it will keep you sane!

Thanks will do!

All good suggestions. I do have pics of the sides and back, which are pristine. The back is flat...so it’s definitely not a guitarron style. I know from the reading I’ve done that it precedes the Ernie Ball bass guitars. I’m surprised that I haven’t found a number info system, like the Martin...

Thanks for your input. I have found a little info on the Harptone guitar. They only made the bass for a short period of time and from what I can find, not many were made (I'm trying to figure out what the SN means. I think it should give me an idea of the year it was built and what number it...

I think perhaps what you played might be a similar guitar to what I have.

Okay folks! I have photos and the info on the giant acoustic bass I was asking about. It's a Harptone fretted 4 string (duh!) with spruce top. I can't tell what the body's made from but it doesn't have much grain, so I expect maybe a plain maple (as the hardwood aspect would give a good sound...

Your question is confusing. We are discussing a Mexican bass acoustic guitar...

As with all acoustic instruments, the quality and the feel combined with the sound make one fall in love (or not!) But with upright bass has that thumpy, thick sound too. It's just a matter of what the music is calling for I think.....

Yes, he most certainly was..... I gather you must have heard of him..... Apparantly, he loved the sound of this guitar and used in in several recording sessions on people he produced..... That's what my husband Johnny says, (he engineered or set up most of the sessions) Musical history is fun, eh?

I'm in the process of getting a few good photos and accurate description. We are selling a bunch of gear and I'm in the beginning stages of organizing and pricing everything.... (Wish this part were over!!!) But I'm on the case! It's cool that you play one. The one I have was bought in...

Great suggestions and info. Thanks Robyn

I have a large Mexican Acoustic Bass that was bought from a band member in Mexico in the 1970's but I don't know where to go to find out anything about it. Anybody here got some ideas of where I should begin my search? Thanks in advance! Robyn
