Details:

Model: Framus 5/150 Star Bass

Year of manufacture: approx. 1960s

Made in Germany

Original vintage instrument

Classic short scale

Rare, authentic sound

Condition:

Very good age-related condition with only slight signs of wear, which underline the vintage character. All potentiometers work and are smooth-running. No cracks or breaks. Frets and fretboard are in excellent condition with no scratches or streaks. All machine heads are smooth-running and stable.

The neck has been oiled, the frets polished, and the electronics are fully functional, with the switches and potentiometers working as they should. The pickups produce a beautiful vintage sound, from smooth to really growly, a sound that cannot be produced with a Jazz Bass. Perfect not only for the music of the 60s and 70s. The bass is therefore light and extremely comfortable to play. It's just waiting to be played, too good to just hang on the wall or put to sleep in a case. A real player and not just an investment!

The bass is waiting to be played.

Shipping:

I ship with DHL and DHL transport insurance. Basses that exceed normal dimensions are shipped with the neck removed and only upon request and at the customer's expense for bulky goods. I have a lot of experience with shipping. I also take photos of the exact condition of the guitar before I ship it. Please note that once I have shipped the guitar and entered the tracking number, I can no longer accept responsibility for it and my task is complete. The standard insurance I use to ship all guitars covers up to €500. If you would like higher insurance coverage, please let me know.

No shipping to the USA and USSR
