*DROP: 900* - 'LD Starter' Double bass for sale - *SOLD* £975 Coventry

[robot_pelican_chin]

Selling my beautiful double bass bought brand new from LD Bass Place in London. Only one previous owner (me!). Selling to fund another purchase and I just don't use it enough.

 

Comes with soft gig bag with handles worth £50 and pick-up attached to the bridge worth £50 although I can remove this if you would like. Both included in the price, plays beautifully and doesn't need setting up. Pick-up from Coventry CV6. Purchased new from Lawrence Dixon in London. See description below:

 

"The 'LD Starter Bass' is made exclusively for Bass Place. It is a standard 3⁄4 size robust ply body with a tasteful matt varnish. Most importantly it has upgraded materials not usually found on an entry level bass: Ebony fingerboard, ebony tailpiece, ebony endpin, D’darrio strings, and the renowned Bass Place set up. It has an unbeatable value with exceptional quality and finish. Guildhall Junior Jazz section department recently chose this as their “house” bass.

English made double bass for sale

 

I don't think it's made in England by Laurence.  I thought they are made abroad (perhaps to his upgraded specs) then shipped over and he gives them a very good setup.  Apologies if I'm wrong.

 

Either way, any bass that's been through his shop will surely be a good one.

@jrixn1 Hi mate, thanks for the contribution and you are quite right - I had totally forgotten since I bought it back in 2014, a quick search seems to suggest they are made in Romania and set up by Lawrence. I've amended it now to reflect.
