H.S. Anderson Bass

[FrankieTbird]

Hello,

I owned this bass. I bought it new 1976 in Breda (netherlands) at the musicshop SOL. Price was about fl 900,-. Fender basses had the same price at that time but I wanted to try something new.
I have playing the bass till this year. I sold it may 2013.
I was not the type that was very careful. During tours and concerts I put the bass on fire and throw it in the swimming pool. Never used a flight-case or bag  That explains the damage on the body. The bass was always operating as a bass should do.
I never changed the strings. Only when they broke. I think 2 or 3 times in the lifetime of the bass.
The pickup selector does not work since about 3 years. I did not need to fix it because the sound was ok.

...
I sold the bass because I needed a 5 string. (big band melodies mostly in Eb)

Hey - that also happens to me when I have to play Glenn Miller charts  

Welcome, Bram!

I have one of these. The model is BB1.  I bought it second hand in 1979 and have played it ever since. Came in a hard case which is on its last legs now lol. It is easy, easy, easy to play! Great sound. And yes, it weighs a ton.

There was one for sale in The Netherlands for around 300 euros a while ago....
