lcu1988 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) Up for sale is a lovely late 19th century Mittenwald double bass maintained and set up by Laurence Dixon - valued at 7k. Will sell for 5k ono. It has a very focused, direct and very loud sound - and had been used unamplified in many period big bands. I have owned it for the last five years, where it has mainly been kept in various west end pits, most recently Gypsy at the Savoy Theatre. I currently have 3 double basses and am moving house - no room at all!! Would prefer cash and am willing to negotiate, however would consider partial trades for old fenders, pre eb stingrays or an ampeg b15. I am based in south London, if anybody fancies trying it out - the kettle is always on! Will come with good quality padded case, realist pickup, leather now quiver and a choice of strings (currently set up with innovation polychrome trial set...)

lcu1988 Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 Bump! This has just come back from Laurence Dixon complete with fingerboard plane, new tailpiece, touch up late to varnish and new set of Belcantos! Can be viewed in West End most evenings.... Will consider trades for electrics, microphones, bows - essentially anything that takes up less space! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
