Thank you and yep, I trust you guys in the know to keep me right. I know double basses well, but these wee things are not my department.
The info I included, as you’ll see, comes from Brian’s original listing + the opinion of a reputable vintage guitars trader here in Scotland, who was kind enough to drop me some knowledge.
Basically, I think that Brian’s original valuation of £1500 reflects the value of this bass in terms of professional quality, but a bit of a mix and match between original features and later embellishments.
Any less than that, I think it’s a great deal, but I know times are hard for musicians (probably for
most people), otherwise I wouldn’t be selling.
