I have a few Basses like this if your'e interested?

Hi joejoez There's 3 really nice basses for sale here and I need to keep at least one of them. 😯I can't make up my mind which one I like the most. They're all great. You'd be more than welcome to come and try them all. PM me or call. 07983 629 478 ☺

Bump. I also have two lovely old German flatbacks for sale. ☺

Ouch! RSI, hope it gets bettersoon.

Thanks Jezyorkshire, sounds lovely too. I noticed in the other section that you were asking for about maintenance of older basses. This one is nearly as good as the day it left the makers workshop, but you may be interested in another bass that I have for sale which has just had a full restoration, so is solid and a lot cheaper. Check it out on Gumtree in Bath.

Open to offers....

German swell back 3/4 Double Bass circa 1910. This Bass is in very good condition for it's age and was constructed using top quality wood. It has a tight grained spruce top and highly figured maple back and ribs with a deep golden brown varnish. At some point in it's life it was converted from 3 to 4 strings and has had a neck graft using beautiful figured maple, in keeping with the back and ribs. It was also given a new bass bar too. I have played this Bass professionally for the past 7 years, mainly for Jazz. The Bass is currently set up with a new set of Helicore hybrid strings. It has wonderful warm punch to its tone and it works very well for classical too. It would also make a great solo instrument as it speaks very clearly, especially in the upper register and is very comfortable and easy to get around. String length :107 cm Upper bout : 53 cm lower bout : 66 cm Length of back : 112 cm I Also have two very nice old German flat back basses for sale at £4500 each. The Basses are located in Bath.

If Rabbie changes his mind about the set up and repair book, I'll take it.

Hi Claire. Someone is coming for it tomorrow. I will let you know if it falls through. Thanks.

Price drop. £950. It's a good bass, it's just not being used.

Yes it is 3/4. The string length is 103cm. It's dead easy to get around and a breeze to play. But doesn't come with a case though, just as it is.

Very good point. I thought I'd done that. Photos on the way. Thanks.

Bump.

I bought this Bass from the Bristol violin shop about 12 years ago. The Messina was one of Stentor's high end instruments at the time. It's all hand carved with a spruce top, maple back and sides and ebony finger board. The Bass is very comfortable to play and It sounds great. It has the usual scuffs around the edges, which you would expect from a Bass that has been gigged for over 10 years. There is a repair from a split under one of the F holes which was professionally repaired around seven years ago and is still sound. otherwise this Bass is in great condition. Locationo Bath.

Pm'd

Does anybody out there have any old style hat peg tuners? I actually only need the one but a matching set would be great. they're for an old German Bass. Thanks.

I've got a set of Belcantos with a C extension but I don't have an extension on my bass. I'm looking to swap the bottom C for a standard Belcanto E or sell for £45 posted. I bought the set 2nd hand and they had only been on a bass for about 6 weeks, so it's in very good condition, silks too.
