That is absolutely magnificent! I sometimes wish I'd never picked up an electric Bass - (at least a fretted one). I play fretless almost exclusively these days. There's nothing like the smooth gliding transitions on a fretless fingerboard or an upright. | ||

i learned how to play bass on an upright when i was 10 yrs old. val keeps asking me to try the TI jazz flatwounds. i just ordered a set before we get to stringing up the direwolf. the rap is that they sound a lot like an upright | ||

i remember dragging it on a city bus to take it home from school on the weekends and after i learned to drive trying to fit in in my car...oh the good ole days! i did try an ashbory and the sound was extremely comparable to an upright- but the darn thing would never stay in tune | ||

That is a beautiful bass. The detail is wonderful without being too much. My father-in-law has a 5-volume Encyclopedia of Violins and Violin Makers. If you want I will look up the maker and see what they say about him. It would probably take me a week or two to get the books. If you want me to, tell me any more info you have about it, like Pollmann's first name, or the year it was made, or the town it was made in. Sometimes (especially in the old days) you would have several generations of makers with the same last name. It can be impossible to tell much from the last name only. Some family members were masters while others were only so-so. If the info on the Pollmann who made it is lengthy and others don't want it posted here I could E-mail it to you if that's okay.

Rich; I think I found it. This looks like the company web site: http://www.poellmann-bass.de/ And this would appear to be the Busseto model that Flax wishes to have delivered to his doorstep: http://www.poellmann-bass.de/basses/busseto/main.htm So if you are able to find more about the history of this company, I'm sure many of us would find it interesting. | ||
