Fascinating story, I think. I guess with all the parts floating around, this is plausible. Anyone have an opinion?
http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/dak/msg/1562316277.htmlThe text, in case it dissapears:
I bought these items a couple years ago from a fellow you found them in the old Gibson factory in Michigan. He wrote a letter detailing the story of how he came across them. He had them for about 15 years before selling them to me. What you get is a very nice HEAVY upright bass, outside mold. It's made of many pieces of maple. You also get front and back templates, a work board, and some other fixture that I honestly don't know what it is. These are vintage pieces and are in good shape. If you are looking to build an upright bass, or if you are a collector of vintage instrument artifacts then these are for you. If you have questions please let me know. Don't ask me to sell you one or two pieces as I will not do that. You need to buy the lot of items. The price I'm asking is the price I paid for them so I won't take less. If you are a builder, the amount of time you'll save from having to make your own molds and patterns is well worth the price for these. Thanks for looking. Oh and sorry that the pictures aren't amazing, I might be able to try and get better shots if necessary but
