There is another bass that looks identical to this, with the same push button switches etc. but the name escapes me now. I am not sure if this copies the one I am thinking of or vice-versa. It seems Galanti guitars and basses go back to 1964 while Goyas started around 1967. Galanti was an accordion manufacturer. Goya might have been just a name change.

This authentic, honestly aged piece of music history sold for just 102,5€ + 8,5€ shipping. Fake relic jobs fetch thousands when the right name is on them. Go figure…
Which brings the question: does artificial relic'ing fade away with time? That would be a bummer.

So this sold for half the price of the unknown one with bits of plumbing attached??
I would much rather have this one!

I notice it has a 'hooteneny' strap button on the headstock for true 'trapped in the cat flap' wearing, should you prefer. That pickguard looks as though it was rescued from a shark's upchuck and pieced together by forensics. I have those same tuning machines on my 1961 fenton weill constellation bass.

1961? That's interesting. People were trying all possible shapes then. Choosing a guitar must have been such a headache
