[b][/b]Hi There
Reluctantly selling my old bass,is carved spruce top, flat back,estimated at 100-120 years old and german.
Not sure of fingerboard wood is not ebony possibly either maple or beech,i've been told(is same as neck by looks of it)
Has had a few repairs over the years the last being in 1960 that i know of to the neck.
Is very sturdy has a ,holds tune well,is set up more for bowing
at the moment,can include a re haired unused bow too.
The bass has a nice tone,a member from here came down and played it with a bow and it sounded nice(well at least until i tried bowing!)Would make a good 1st bass or maybe if someone wanted to restore to peak condition
Open to reasonable offers in the NW. area/N.wales
I put a thread up about this at the Ken Smith double bass forum,there's a few pics and info there and a link to some more pics

[b]Have been told is 3/4 size not full as i thought originally. Scale is 42inch (nut to bridge)[/b]
[b]Great tone on this bowed or fingerstyle,someone could have a bargain here!!![/b]

Hello Pete

Have you got a price in mind for this?

Wales is sadly a bit of a treck for me, but my girlfriend metioned something about a camping trip so I may be in your neck of the woods and I may be interested in getting a look at it.

Thomas;
I'm not lookin for mega amounts of money not sure of it's value still,so will take a reasonable offer.(sorry thats not much help!)
I'm thinking that maybe it's what it's worth is to someone that determines it's value so a reasonable offer will do.I mean would 600ish be about right?Honestly dont know if is worth more or less sorry.
Yeah just give me a shout if you want to come an view,no problem.
Thanks
Pete
