Re: I have Fender 72 p-bass with a very unique engravement
I wonder if it says Manfred Trautmann? If so, it would be a fairly common German name.
I'm sure someone made up a logo brand for some other purpose and decided it would be cool to brand their bass with it.

Re: I have Fender 72 p-bass with a very unique engravement
I know there's a Manfred Trautmann in Germany who is an instrument technician. I read about him on some blogs and stuf...
Maybe he worked on the bass earlier ;) That might explain the logo too...

Manfred Trautman Stamp on Bass
This stamp was the stamp of Manfred Trautman who lived in New Orleans from 1968 to 1984.
He was a master Luthier who repaired and made violins as well as other stringed instruments. He moved to Monmool Sweeden and died in there in 1985. He was a good friend of mine. Demian Roberts
