Probable Framus / Eko* - Blitz De Luxe

Reviewer: Augusto Croce (http://www.acroce.it)
Amplifier Used: Laney Pro-Bass
  • Vintage: 2000
  • Number of Strings: 4
    • Double bass strings compatible
  • Balance While Playing: ******** (8/10)

I bought this as a late 50's Framus bass, but it's got little differences from the originals I could see pictured here and there.
The seller had three others like this, all very old, so being in Italy I tend to think this has been manufactured in Italy (Eko, Wanfre, ..?)
The triangle shaped body is metallic red, while the neck and head have an odd blue-golden sunburst finish. The neck is foldable and the original plastic case was green.
The pickup is a "Super MB" with volume and tone controls on one side and the jack is an old smaller one (50's radio plug).
The head has a plate with "Electro Blitz Bass De Lux" writing.
No serial number.
