I'd be on to them to have a good clear out ..... in case theres any more lurking in a cupboard !
[quote name='farmer61' post='624107' date='Oct 12 2009, 04:02 PM']Well after hankering after a Double Bass, I managed to get hold of a battered one from my local education authority FOC, the bass was about to be chucked as "uneconomical to repair"
So I've taken it to a respected specialist who is going to repair and refurb the bass for £300. Once done he reckons it'll be worth £900....hooray!
He thinks it's a solid wood Romanian Built 3/4 bass circa 1970's, neck, bridge and strings are fine, needs re-glueing and varnishing but should come up a treat. I want some battle scars left on it but it will be a thing of beauty I am sure.
I am really excited to get this baby back once it's been sorted.
Just thought I'd share my news!!![/quote]
