Vintage & Rare Guitar of the Week: Framus Strato Bass from 1974


guitarz.blogspot.com:
Whilst we're in a Framus state of mind, here's another Framus I'd like to show you, currently being offered for sale by Guitar Point in Germany and listed on Vintage & Rare. Again, I am not sure of the exact model. Its Jazzmaster-like styling is shared by several Framus Strato and Strato Star basses listed on the Framus Vintage Archive website, but they don't appear to have one with these pickups and pickguard. It's possibly just a variation of the Strato Bass.

It's interesting also to note that Framus made a Jazzmaster-styled bass three decades before Fender (or rather Fender Japan) decided to produce such a model.

This particular 1974 bass in near mint condition is being offered for sale via Vintage & Rare priced at €675.

- Framus Super Strato In San Diego For $325
I am not a huge fan of Framus electrics but this one is very nice and it is an excellent deal. The Framus pickup is a good design with excellent tonal qualities.
