Helge Lund Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 30 years ago I had a bass that looked nearly as a Hofner beatle bass. But the head was like on an URB. Is it possible that any of the lowdowners knows what kind of bass this was? And perhaps got a link where there is some pic's? Thanks!

EddiePlaysBass Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 I think I have seen a similar model, but I can't remember where ... I'll look into it and get back to you. "I'm a work in progress."

61Pbass Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 I've seen a few with slotted URB style headstocks over the years in pawnshops, but don't remember who made them. EKO made a violin shaped bass in the 60's and 70's that had a flat headstock with a scroll at the top. There's a pic of one on this site . It's down near the bottom of the page and it loads a little slow, so be patient. Later.................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helge Lund Posted August 1, 2004 Author Share Posted August 1, 2004 Hi again! I found an old picture of me playing that bass. The picture was taken back in 1974 playing in a small hotell on an island outside the town of Tønsberg (south of Oslo). It was my first band who was getting out of the garage! And I was 18, the summer was warm, and so was all the girls! It was a great time! But, I'm still wondering about this bass! Please help me!

wart Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 It looks like a Framus. This was the father of the Warwick guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helge Lund Posted August 1, 2004 Author Share Posted August 1, 2004 Is it possible it's an early Ampeg bass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helge Lund Posted August 4, 2004 Author Share Posted August 4, 2004 I've solved the case!!! By intense searching the web, I found out that it was a late 60's model of the Univox Lycra hollow body bass. Now I can sleep at night! Anyone out there having experience with the Univox basses?
