Hmm...I do wonder if Ransom Olds was related to F. E. Olds….

I'm in love with the idea of this horn, I've always wanted a mint recording bass. However I couldn't possible justify spending the money (that I don't have). If I could trade my HB50 for an Eastman 6/4 and this bass I probably would.

I just had one of these in my hands. I loved hos it played, and sounded. But I am to short in the arms to reach the fourth valve. Other wise I would have bought it.
