My new and rather lovely double bass.

I picked this up on Tuesday from a guy in London.

It needs new strings and a setup, which should be done next week. Overall I’m very pleased with it. 

It’s a Stentor Conservatoire, approximately ten years old. The guy actually sold it as a Stentor Student 2, I noticed the Conservatoire label inside earlier today. The Conservatoire model is quite a lot better than the Student model, and consequently a lot more money.

It has a carved front and back - the back is really nicely flamed.

That's a lovely looking bass and you may have got it a better price if the vendor thought it was 'student' rather than 'conservatoire' (I know that is the same with classical guitar models, often by some margin) and to have a solid top and back is also a step forward in terms of quality.

I hope you enjoy!

Do please give us updates on how you are getting on with this bass...I was contemplating that model myself. 

Will do. It’s probably best to get a used one if you can. I had it set up and new strings fitted. It’s a really lovely instrument.
