bassadder Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Dear All I have a beautiful example of this model [url="http://www.stringemporium.com/bernadel.htm"]http://www.stringemporium.com/bernadel.htm[/url] and I'm testing the water to see if there is any interest in her out there. I got her in February 2008 from a lovely chap near Oxford who imported her direct from Steve at The String Emporium. I had my luthier do a full set-up, install a Fishman Full Circle and put a on a full set of Velvet Anima strings (this came to around £ 600.00). The only minor things that have been done are a couple of cracks professionally repaired on the bottom again by luthier who has re-varnished them and unless I showed them to you you wouldn't know they were there, this is very normal for double basses. I've played this bass virtually everyday since the beginning of August and have done a lot of gigs on her, the sound is really beginning to open up and she is very easy to play. I'm not sure how much to put it for the current price of this model is $ 4950.00 which with VAT at 15% and duty at anything from 4 - 6% makes this bass around £ 4100.00 before shipping and a proper set-up, I'm not interested in trades just sensible offers over £ 2500.00. The reason I'm selling well my old french bass (a Jacquet-Gand from around 1860 if anyone's interested) is now virtually restored and I should get her back at the end of the month so I no longer need the Wan. Anything else the sale doesn't include a gigbag. If you any questions just mail me [attachment=18548:Alan_Glen_Trio_1.jpg] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassadder Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 Hi Keith I'll put some more up in the next couple days though it's exactly the same as the bass on the String Emporium website. The Maple on the bass is incredible lots beautiful of figure. I'm up in Carlisle. Cheers Laurence [quote name='Mr Bassman' post='378463' date='Jan 12 2009, 11:33 PM']Got any more pics?

If you could come over in the afternoon you could have something to eat at ours before the gig, or you'd be welcome to stay the night after the gigs and do bass things in the morning!

bassadder Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 Thanks for the call on Saturday and the very kind offer it's very much appreciated. I'm back down in Masham on Febraury 21st same time around 6 but this time I shouldn't have any gigs or rehearsals in the afternoon so I'll definately have time to meet you before hand. What's your dairy looking like for that date? Many thanks in advance [quote name='Mr Bassman' post='391549' date='Jan 26 2009, 11:28 AM']That would be too late for me.
