Open to sensible offer: Selling my well cared for German 4/4 Double Bass. Written valuation in 2006 £4,500-£5,000. Bass Circa 1880’s. I have owned the bass for approx. 40 years. Bought from a classical Pro double bassist. Excellent playing condition both acoustically and with fitted ‘Armstrong‘ end of fingerboard pickup.The bass had a ‘health check’ approximately 3 years ago. All in good order. A new set of Thomastik Spirocore 4/4 light, complete set, orchestra tuning, strings bought in 2002 and very little played since then. If you require bass measurements do get in touch. Comes with Mooradian cover case. Ps--Pickup has now been removed from the bass as I have been playing the bass acoustically--but the pickup is available if required. Would do a part exchange for any of the following: Gibson ES 175 guitar (or copy). Or a quality Archtop guitar (acoustic or electric). Or a quality Gypsy guitar. PM me

Hi Bloopdad1 Many thanks for taking the time to enplane 'blockless'. The neck is stable--no issues with playing. The bass plays very well all the way up the fingerboard.

Bloopdad1---I did not know what blockless meant. So did a search and appears to be where the neck meets the shoulders. See pics below: Does this help?

Sell or Exchange my German Double bass. Written valuation in 2006 approx. between £4500 and £5000. Good acoustic sound and set up. Plays very well. Last year the bass had a 'health check'--all OK. Strings are Thomastick Spirocore 4/4 light bought new last year and had little use. Quite a few marks on the body of the bass--has had splits in the past, repaired in the past before I bought the bass--non since owned by myself. Fitted with Armstrong pickup--excellent sound with amp. Bought from a classical player approx. 40 years ago. Quality bass tuners. Comes with Mooradian padded bag/case. Reason for sale?--my age. Now playing EUB. Would exchange for Top Quality Acoustic Archtop Guitar (L5 style) depending what you have. PM me.

Bump

Have you Spirocore Stark E to sell? If so send me details: Price / condition / photo of windings. If possible would you measure the actual string length from the ball end to the bottom of the top winding? (String playing length). The reason is my bass has a 43" scale length and not sure if the bass is a 3/4 or 4/4 size. Price to negotiate. PM me.
