Subfeeder Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 (edited) German, Five String (low b string) circa 1985, laminated, swell back, brass tuners on half plates, brown varnish (string length 104cm; back length 108.5cm) Excellent instrument currently set up for pizz (jazz) but also works well for arco. B string works very well - plenty of sustain and mwahhh Good clear and characterful sound - amplifies well with KK Bass Max pickup (not included in sale) Recently had the fretboard dressed - medium low action This bass has a fair amount of "mojo" (see pictures) but nothing structural and is, to my eyes, far nicer looking than many of the orange high gloss instruments available in this price range [attachment=24704:IMG_0734.jpg][attachment=24705:IMG_0737.jpg][attachment=24706:IMG_0739.jpg] [attachment=24707:IMG_0743.jpg][attachment=24708:IMG_0750.jpg][attachment=24709:IMG_0751.jpg] Including: Good quality and good condition black nylon padded case with plenty of pockets and handles and a carrying strap Thomastik Spirocore strings on the bass - new from August 2008. Been gigged 4 times, otherwise just home practice. (These cost about £140 new) Spare set of (fairly well used) Thomastik Spirocores - low B is an unidentified string French style bow with black hair - good condition (+ rosin) Young family means no time for practice and small house means no space for a redundant double-bass Looking for £975 ono Edited April 21, 2010 by jassibi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
