This is very cool!

Thanks. I'll be working on that next.

Those look amazingly like the old Fender Coronados. (Except the pickups look like they are from a Univox.) Can any of those artisans still be around?

If anyone is interested, you can use Link Removed to see what's new on the list.

Good catch.
I've got a serious urge to own a hollow body just because I like the way they look. Every other instrument I've bought because of sound, but there's just something about that style (the EB2 look) that appeals to me.

I bought an Link Removed (single cutaway - semi acoustic) mostly for that same reason. It's a really nice looking bass, but I'm still trying to get that 60's thunky sound out of it.

It's 104 on the pending list. I did a search for it and found it on cheesyguitars.com. Holly Ric-o-clone!

Found one missing on the list: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed].
Morgan is a brand of budget instruments that are quite popular in Norway. I have no idea if they are designing instruments themselves or are just sticking their own brand on them, but at those prices they surely aren't built in Norway.

You're right! They're now on the pending list. (It'll be updated shortly.)

Are you also doing a list of bass amp manufacturers?

Play that groove string!

LAG is a French luthier.
Some nice stuff when I was visiting there last year.

I don't know that you can ever get the thunky sound out of them. You just have to play a lot of old Animals songs so that it fits in.

I had a Hofner 500/2 at one time but sold it because of feed back problems. And the band I was in at the time wasn't all that loud. Has anyone else experienced this problem with hollow bodies?

I've changed the search function in the Link Removed so you can now...

1. Search for anything in the name or comments field
2. Search for contry code (PD was looking for that )

(I know the countries aren't alphabetical )
Also remember that most brands are still missing the country code. I sort that out over time.

Are you also doing a list of bass amp manufacturers?

Yes. There is an "Amps" button in the heading. You can also select Amps from the "Show Instruments" drop down.

I'm not specifically looking for amps or distinguishing between bass and guitars amps, but they are there.

thanks,
Terri

Actually, my suggestion was just to have two groups: domestic and foreign. But once again, you have outdone yourself! I am amazed at the amount of time you've put into this project.
