3/4 Double Bass for sale - ON HOLD - *SOLD* £375 East Yorkshire

[casapete]

I'm selling my double bass as it's not getting used and I could do with the space.

 

After asking around on here (see 'Help needed to identify DB' thread in EUB and Double Bass section), it would seem

it is probably a Boosey and Hawkes Excelsior ply model from around 1970's period. I can't find any labels to confirm

any more than this I'm afraid. The soundpost is in place, and the bass appears in fairly good condition. 

It plays fine with an action I can manage as an electric bass player! It has two pickups fitted, one of which is a Polytone,

(not sure about the other one). Both work although with a low-ish output, presumably typical of such pickups back in the day.

There are also two bows in a bag included with the bass.

 

The bass is for sale in East Yorkshire, about 12 miles west of Kingston upon Hull. I'd prefer cash on collection please, although

I may be up for a meet up somewhere or possible help with delivery, depending on where and when of course.

 

 

Any questions / offers / request for more pics etc welcome, and thanks for looking.

Skipton isn’t that far if you’re considering it - could maybe arrange a halfway thing with your bro?

Not yet - got a couple of people looking at delivery possibilities though.

Let me know if you’re interested, cheers.

I do not need a double bass. I do not need a double bass.

[Waddo Soqable]

I don't even want one, but... If he was in London I'd likely bite his hand off at that price.... 

[gyrus]

I’m interested too, but it’s quite a distance from where I am.

[casapete]

Now SOLD, thanks for all the interest.
