Hello,

 

I’m an interested buyer with just a few questions. Can you provided some photos of the head stock and tuning machines, and a close-up photo of the fingerboard? Also, what’s this instrument’s age? Where or from whom did you acquire it? How long have you owned it? Who has done any work or set-up, or finishing it may have needed over the years?

 

Thank You,

Expat

 Hi expat, just acknowledging your enquiry, will provide some more details in a day or two

 

 thanks

I’ve owned this bass for about 10 years, I bought it from a lady who told me it belonged to her late father. It had a crack in the heel of the neck which she believed her father had repaired, I played the bass as it was for about a year but wasn’t confident about the crack, so I took it to Tim Batchelor in Leicester who removed the fingerboard and carried out a professional repair fitted a new fingerboard and adjustable bridge. He presumed the bass to be late 19th/ early 20th century.

   I’m selling this reluctantly due to health issues

Thank you, Eddie. I’m planning a trip to T&G Martin’s shop soon. I’d love to stop by to see your bass when I do. I’ll be I touch.

 

Thanks Again,

Sorry to interject but are you sure it's a blockless? Most of the blockless basses I've seen have a bulge to the sides at the neck joint so the sides meet the neck at a larger angle, rather than curving inwards towards parallel with the neck like yours. So I suspect it may have been built with a block. 

Looks like a nice bass, possibly closer to Markneukirchen/Saxony style than Bavaria IMO.

Thanks, I respect your opinion on this, I’m only assuming it’s blockless on “experts” telling me it is without a physical examination. I’ll try to get it confirmed one way or the other.
