Double Bass #$%@! Is this for real?!?!

[CatfishStudios]

Turns out there may have been people already in North America when the Europeans "discovered" it!

I just discovered a house next door, nicer than mine... manifest destiny here I come!

And, the Vikings "discovered" and settled North America (along with the peoples that had been here for at least 13,000 years before that) before the wood in this bass was alive.

Yeah. If they had been able to venture further south, or if the "Little Ice Age" hadn't been so severe, things would be very different in North America!

So...to bring it back on subject...EVERYONE who loves the bass should have this poster...

My copy arrived today

I'm astonished how much the outline has been cut down right through the amazing ornamention. it would have been one broad bass if you follow the original outer purfling!

Mmmm, that scroll is making me hungry for a cinnamon roll!

Cool that you bought it...it is worth the very little money they are asking, huh?!?! Yeah...If my memory serves me right...it has triple purfling...but only one or two places show evidence of that...in some areas it's been trimmed back so much that there is NO original purfling left!

I'd love to get my hands on it for a good look.

yeah, triple purfling. And no cracks in the top (probably due to all that purfling). And the ribs lined with 1.5mm linen and it still sounds great, apparently.

Trade Secrets is good too
