K Barad Posted November 10, 2024 Posted November 10, 2024 (edited) Price Drop: £1000 Looking to sadly sell my old double base. It's gone unplayed for too long and with the kids getting bigger I'm running out of safe places to store something that by all rights deserves to be loved and played - a musical instrument should never go silent. It's a Andreas Zeller, Full size double base, solid maple back, and in good condition according to the local violin shop when they checked it. I think it was at least 10 years old when I bought it, putting it at ~1990 or earlier. It has a soft case (the case is very old though so the bass needs a bit of a clean and one handle is broken), no bow, telescopic foot, bridge pickup (not tested for years), Strings in good condition. Local shop say they do have this model and normally sell them at £2700+ Since it's only a soft case, I'd rather do collection only or I deliver it rather than trust my bass to a courir. It does mean you need a big enough car (it is big) or be close to North Bristol, but it also means you can check it before you buy. I hope it goes to someone who will play it and love it as it should be Edited 1 hour ago by K Barad Price drop and new photos 1 Quote

Thanks for the tip - I really hadn't thought about the ordering of the photos like that! Shows how often I sell things >.<. If it takes a little longer maybe I should get my new phone and take some better quality pictures too. 1 Quote
