Hi. I've been offered a double bass by someone on this forum (hope they don't mind me posting this! :) ).

It's a "Boosey and Hawkes excelsior /golden strad circa 1959/60", blonde and he's asking for £740 (which includes a bow and rosin).

Just wondering what people's opinions were on this bass? Also is this a good price?

Cheers.

Thanks, I was searching for "excelsior golden strad" and getting nothing :). Still couldn't find much on the price, is £740 decent? It just sounds a bit much to me (for a laminate), but I'm not really sure as this will be my first double bass.

Cheers.

Nice bass for a laminate, the price.......the last excelsior I saw sold for about £500. That was a later one though. Golden strads(the earlier ones ) come up now and again, It would need to be really special for that price.
PS Mine cost me £250.
