The weather outside is
frightful, but the bass is so delightful. and when the rain ceases
there will be pictures. 43" strings and a largish 3/4 body. Refinished,
but nicely. Sounds great. Come play it. $11,500 |
| Between the wars German 3/4
fully carved |
Been
around the block a few times, but a joy to play and sounds wonderfull.
No reason to think this bass won't go around a few more times, but
there are unfixed side cracks. $3500 |

This
consignment bass came from an estate. It is of the highest quality and
in playedbut well cared for condition.
44" strings, no cracks, repaired or otherwise! As balanced as a good 3/4 bass, but
noticeably more powerful in all registers. $12,000 |
| Misc. |
I have two basses in need of
work that a hobby woodworker could enjoy bringing back to life. One is allegedly the original bass from the Sons of the Pioneers, Roy Rogers band in the '30's. It is a solid wood flatback, and I have done 30 hours work fixing cracks and the like before I lost interest. Make an offer. The other is a laminated Eastman Strings bass, about ten years oln, and it has the back halfway loose. I simply no longer have interest, and someone could bring it back in a few hours of glueing and clamping. I originally sold it for $1800, including ebony fingerboard , strings, and bag. Yours for half that. |

I
have a number of bows on hand. They are priced about half way between
my
cost and suggested retail. If you buy a bow in the same transaction as
a bass, I will give it to you for my actual cost plus 10%. |
