Hey folks,

she's mine now
The photo quality is not the best (phone pic) but you got the idea.






Cheers,

Nice! Great score. Gotta love that Combo bass, if it's as good-sounding as the 6-string models. That one looks to be in great shape, too.

Super duper! Congratulations

Thanks. For now it's my favourite instrument. I own a few sweet basses (not as valuable as the Combo) but this one is just super awesome.
Easy to play, super low action, great sound. I didn't have the chance to play this one before I bought it (from a guy in the USA). No dissapointment at all. I am happy.

Nice score popp!! What's the story on the amp parked behind the Combo? Is that an old (but not too old) Magnatone, Supro???

[popp]

it's a 60's Hohner Orgaphon...








The red one is my "green audio fireball" bass amp. It has an in-built cigarette lighter... (not a mod!)

HOLY MOTHER of Harmonicas!!! I've never seen one B4! That is wild....cigarette lighter, eh?
Will it make Coffee for you in the morning ? BTW, Solid State or Tube?
That is TOTALLY AWESOME!!! .

Sweet bass, and those amps are pretty wild. I used to play in a band with a bass player who installed a cupholder in the top of his amp so his beers wouldn't get rattled away, but a stock cigarette lighter is a whole different level.

Also, is that a bicycle with a sunburst finish before the Orgaphon?

Ha! There's also a cow inside... just in case you need fresh milk for your coffee.

The cigarette lighter was a strong buying argument back then. It's not that I smoke that much... it's more for the looks

Orgaphon = tubes
Fireball = solid state

Edit: the bike in the background is an Italian racer finished in rainbow colors and chrome. Unfortunately, it needs a little maintenance and repair... It's my city bike.

Nice bass! These have great tone and play really nice! Hey can we see the cigarette lighter on your amp? I have never even heard of that feature on a amp before! I would love to see it.
