We looked a a Framus Strato Deluxe a few weeks ago in this post. I actually got to play that very guitar briefly at a guitar show in town a couple of weeks ago.
Now I find it's bass brother in this Framus Strato Deluxe Star Bass.
Again, the look of these German guitars impress me. This bass is in desperate need of a setup though as I could likely fit my head between the strings and the fretboard at the 12th fret. But with a couple of shims and some tweaks this could be a real player, and at $300 Canadian it could be a great way to go vintage and funky on a budget.

- Framus 1960's Star Bass In La Area For $500
Most Bill Wyman fans know that he played a Framus Star all through the early and mid-60's. His was a red sunburst with two pickups and the "pointer" knobs but this one still looks fairly similar - especially the long thin easy playing neck. Whittier...

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.
