SOLD

 

c1900 German double bass. 

Has been completely refurbished. 

Back has been de-stressed.

in flat back basses the back often shrinks faster than the front causing cracks. This has happened in this bass, so the back was removed, all braces repaired or replaced.
Then the back refitted allowing it to not pull the front any longer.
The neck block has been strengthened, all cracks repaired and sured up. 

New bridge, new tailpiece and new soundpost. 

Is currently fitted with a prototype ajustable wooden end pin, but will be changed to a usually metal one at buyer request. 

Insurance post restoration was c4k. But I have too many instrument and have been offered something. 

Open to any and all offers, please come play the bass, as it's a beauty. 

Any questions please ask.
