Thanks for the comments, yes that is the bass - all solid wood as opposed to laminate. Please excuse my ignorance of correct terminology. I am informed it has been professionally set up by a luthier. Still none the wiser, will be gut feel thing I think. The seller can demo it

Hi folks,
I am looking to expand my horizons from EB to DB. I have read a few threads here and understand they are pricey and variable in quality, especially the more affordable new ones, so am thinking of going second hand to hopefully get better price/performance.
I have been offered an all-solid Archer which was £1300 new three years ago and is in very good condition. Question is, how much do they depreciate? I can’t find any comparables to judge its current value.
Thanks in advance for any insights you can offer.

Hi, do you know which Zeller model it is?
How well do low end DBs hold their value?

I plumped for the Archer, got it with a bundle for £1100 in the end - quite happy with it:
• Double Bass + Bow (3/4 made by Archer)
• Soft Case (Roth & Junius BSB-01 3/4 DB/BK Bass Soft Bag)
• Strings (Pirastro Evah Pirazzi - 1.5 years old)
• Electronic Pick up (Shadow SH965 NFX-B Double Bass PU)
• Amplifier (TC Electronic BG250-208)
• The Double Bass has also been professionally set up by a Luthier
