Now selling for 2700 euro. Nearing the "half the retail price" level.

Pricedrop: I will let this one go for 2800 euro. The straplocks would not be the Schaller from the pictures and the case would be a good quality-good condition foam semirigid case (similar to the Sadowsky ones) instead of the Hiscox STD-EBS from the original pics. You can find two pics of the new case as follows:

Due to surplus in my bass inventory I will listen to reasonable offers for this one.

Please take into account that the retail price for this bass borders the 5000 Euro, as per Adamovic pricelist + options. And the bass is in excellent overall condition.

That's a real beauty. Thanks, Brexit, for keeping temptation away...

Hey Tony , 

 

Yeah I thought about it but I don't really need a fretless and adding frets to a pentabuzz would it be something to go in prison for a long time. 

Absolutely agree. This bass needs to remain the way it is.

Pity for the brexit, maybe we could reach a deal with my Adamovic otherwise.

By the way, greetings to Devon from a former University of Exeter student. 

Thanks, fiatcoupe432. They are indeed great basses, as good as it gets. Great sound and extremely easy to play. 

I used to have one (fretless version). And I miss it indeed.

Yes, I know. But both basses are practically the same year. Those parts could have been the same bass from the start, even if they actually weren't.

I understand your reasons. But I can't help thinking that this instrument would deserve to continue the way it is now.

Whatever the case, GLWTS, man 👍

I'm also willing to sell this bass in parts, if decent offers are made.

It is your bass, of course. But the idea of separating this bass in chunks makes me pretty upset.

Really sorry for your physical issues, HZ. Health comes always first, all my best wishes in that regard.

Great bass, needless to say.

And sold locally.

The bass is now on hold.

This is definitely a long shot, due to geography. I am offering for sale my Paesold 4/4 german double bass. A german made, high quality full size bass (it really makes justice to the brand) in very good condition. I don't know first hand the specs of the instrument and I am no good with woods, but according to the website of Paesold they are as follows:

PA 590PF-B

Roderich Paesold

Bass shaped

Laminated, fingerboard and tailpiece of solid ebony

Tyrolean brass machine-head

It is a laminated bass (a solid wood Paesold may have a five digits price tag), with an adjustable bridge, solid like a column. And, as already mentioned, in very good condition. I have the original invoice and the retail price was 3000 euro in 2007. I am selling it for 1700 euro (ca. 1500 pounds as of today). It has the original Jaeger gigbag and I would throw in an original RC Williams Bass Buggie in perfect condition for an extra 85 euro. Just like this one:

And of course the elephant in the room: the bass is in Bilbao, North of Spain, and sending this instrument with a carrier would not be a good idea. Therefore this would only work in case someone is close enough to Bilbao to organize the handing out of the instrument (eventually establishing a mid-way place to meet). I can barely imagine this good fellow going to, just say, Stockholm... Anyway, if anybody is interested please just let me know and we discuss it.

So, Rickenbackers are now allowed here? 😜

 

Beautiful bass btw.

I was thinking the same thing. Quite a surprise.

And sold. Thanks to all interested.

Not only your heart is on tears right now.

MLD's bass has been one of my standards on bass-beauty since I saw Melvin in a concert with Lee Ritenour here in Bilbao, rather long ago.

Tonite I won't sleep properly. Curse you, Reiner!! 😭

On hold pending

Price drop to 2,300 euro. For a 4,000 euro bass. Very rare to find second hand and in very good condition.

1,915 pounds for UK buyers.

2 bass related presents this time.

A day without playing the bass is like... just the kids.

I have received some messages asking about the scratch on the top. The moment they tell you about it, you see it. The moment you forget about it, it is like it does not exist. It doesn't get bigger, it doesn't affect the playability in the least and visually it really does not catch your attention beyond the short distance. If you look at the pics you only really see it clearly in the close-up.

Other than this nick the bass is in wonderful condition. And at a great price for this brand and model, just check out the market place and you can see it.

The bass is on hold until the end of february.

Hi, Dan, and thanks for asking.

Since this is a question that can be of interest for further UK buyers, I will answer in the thread. Yes, shipping from EU to UK may be tricky and expensive. You will have to pay your local VAT (21% in Spain, dunno about UK) + customs, and I assume that there will also be paperwork to be done... or paid for.

As for the NS radius, I just knew of its existence when you asked about it and I googled it. Sorry, I can't help you much in that regard.

Please further inquiries/offers/proposals per personal message.

Best, Gorka

I am selling this wonderful bass, manufactured by NS Design in the Czech Republic. I would not be selling it if it wasn’t because, after all, it is not a double bass. It is a hybrid instrument, with the fingerboard size and many characteristics of a double bass, albeit with a different approach to playing it.

It has always been said that the NS instruments are ideal for those electric bass players who want to have a first contact with the “big brother”. It really is, I can tell after playing this one. The sound is definitely somewhere in between both worlds, rather especially if you change the original strings for double bass strings. Good news is that this one does already have DB strings, so you get it the way it has to be… 😉

As for the spechs, I copy them directly from Sweetwater (https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/CRDB4A--ns-design-cr4m-upright-bass-amber) :

This beauty is in Bilbao, Spain. It has been played, of course, but apart from a couple minor dings it is in great condition. Playability to 100% perfect. Retail prices for this one vary a bit, in Thomann it goes to 3,975 euro. I will ask for 2,375 euro (ca. 1,995 pounds as of today - now 2300 euro), which I think is a fair price.
