1/2 might be perfect then. Those Stentors are great for what they are. Just sold this one anyway

1/2 size is a bit smaller hehe

I am actually gonna be in Edinburgh on Sunday 29th. It would probably fit in the car if you’re serious?

This bass came from a local music service and part of the money from the sale will be going back to them. It is pretty messy but completely solid and functioning fine. It’s slightly small for a 3/4 size so I have labelled it as 5/8 but I may be wrong about this. The end pin goes high enough that it feels fine to me but would suit somebody on the smaller side. Playing string length 102cm Length of body 108cm Upper bout 49cm Lower bout 66cm Depth of ribs 19cm Swell back, I believe it is a carved top and plywood back. The fingerboard is a light coloured wood (maple?) stained black. It’s just labelled ‘Made in Hungary’. The action is currently fairly low and it’s a bit rattly on the E string but this could be solved with heavier strings or fitting a new bridge or adjusters. The neck joint looks like it has never had a problem. See photos for messy edges/varnish especially on the bottom corners. There are a couple of old cracks on the front which appear to have been glued and do not seem to be open. Priced low for quick and easy sale. Come and have a look/play. It’s not gonna be a pro instrument but would be ideal for someone starting out on upright bass.

Yeah, I’ll take these please. Oli

Looks great and I’m sure it is coming from them. Can’t believe nobody has snapped this up. I would if I had a spare £6k…

Actually yes but no room in the car for this bass...

Eb I'm afraid, as most German basses are in my experience. I never used the heel as a reference point so swapping between D and Eb necks is not a problem. I never considered it could be until someone didn't want to hire this bass for that reason.

German style flatback 3/4 size bass, possibly from Czech Republic (no label), I'm guessing mid 20th Century. Carved top, ply back. Perfect for jazz. I've had it as my spare bass for the last 10 years but it's time for it to move on. It's definitely been messed around with at some point. Looks like the neck has had a major repair and been reset at a lower angle but it's all solid. Adjustable bridge and last setup by Jerome Davies. Strung with Evah Pirazzi Weich. You can hear me playing it here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1A0-1j_lTBodO1hVxgUlUEuE2cf4-0SRz/view?usp=drivesdk Please ask any questions or come round and have a look.

Looks like a great instrument!
