Laminate bass for sale -SOLD
£800


Recommended Posts

Lovely 3/4 laminate bass (from the 1970s/80s) made in the German Democratic Republic. It looks like a Musima one. I took this instrument in part exchange and have thoroughly overhauled it.
These instruments are well regarded, and rightly so, as compared to many modern laminate instruments they are far superior in construction, tone and playability.
To return this instrument to tip top condition I have:
Reset neck joint.
Shot fingerboard.
Re-cut nut.
Fitted a new high quality bridge with adjusters.
Fitted a new flexible tailwire.
Opened the belly and re-attached the bass bar.
Stripped the varnish from, and oiled, the neck.

The instrument benefits from a carbon fibre endpin, ebony fingerboard and innovation (silver slap?) strings. It plays really easily and has a good strong sound.
The bass bar repair is fundamental to the instrument's sound and longevity and it is a common problem on these basses for the bar to come loose.
Everything that needed doing has been done and this bass is now ready to face another 40 years of music making.
You can pick these basses up for less but you won't find one this nice!
