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

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 

Yes, many thanks for the intro Mr Ray

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?
