Double Bass Framus spotting in the wild!

[Deltatim]

Fellow I worked with has a Pioneer quad TT in his garage, I gave him a Pioneer Stereo to go with it. He also had 4 Pioneer speakers in the rafters. Great sounds while working on the Model T
I used to restore vintage HIFI

I own a 50's Framus Cutaway and its fully carved, with a round back and awesome sound. It originally belonged to my teacher, the great Rhode Island bassist Bob Petteruti. Here's a picture of Bob with the bass back in the day

Great pic, and a nice looking bass! Framus made really decent quality basses, really well put together, though the ones I've seen have rather plain wood (medio fino, I believe is the term).

Rick, when do we get to see some updated pics of your bass?!

Thx,

Paul

I mentioned my teacher, Bob Petteruti, in my post. Stumbled across this summary of his career and life from the RI Music Hall of Fame. It's a fascinating read.
