BoulderBrow Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) I'm selling my 'Artia' double bass imported from Germany by Boosey and Hawkes around 1983. It's a great bass if you're looking to start out on upright, much better than the ebay tat from China. I bought this double bass in 2006 from Pete Tyler of Tyler basses. Since then I've had the action lowered, a new bridge, endpin (screw attached endpin rubber bung) and new soundpost fitted. And the fingerboard has been sanded for a more even finish. Its laminated and solidly built. Soundwise, it's a dark, round sound - I've played mainly jazz but have had D'addario Helicore hybrid strings fitted for classical. It comes with a sturdy soft case, K&K Max bass pickup, Nyman Harts Rosin and a bow (not the best bow in the world but a bow none the less!). I'll even chuck in an old copy of the Simandl Bass method book, a complete upright starter kit. £1000 It's in East London at present until the 22nd of Aug, if you want to come and try it out. After that it will be in Swindon/Bristol Photos can be found here, [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23661205@N00/6001531321/"]http://www.flickr.co...N00/6001531321/[/url] Cheers Edited November 25, 2011 by BoulderBrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brewster Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Hi I'm in the market for a decent bass and would be interested in viewing, if you still have it when you move to Bristol. Ive been learning on a cheap entry model but really want something better. I'm on holiday now for 2 weeks from Momday and then plan to sell a couple of bass guitars on ebay to fund a new DB so will give you a shout at the end of August if ok ?
