Aristone Bass

by Eric Maycox
(Surrey UK)

Here are some pics of my Aristone Junior short scale bass.It says Framus on the keys.
The label shows the distributors were Besson.
What can you tell me about this guitar? Serial no:
B & G/41796.
Thanks
Eric

ANSWER

Hi, Eric--

The Blue Book says only this:

"Instruments previously built in West Germany during the late 1950s through the early 1960s.
While Aristone was the brand name for a UK importer, these guitars were made by, and identical to, certain Framus models"

I tried looking at the Framus Bass models, but could not find one that looked like your bass.

Sorry I could not be of more help.
