[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] [url="http://www.smithbassforums.com/showthread.php?t=391"][url="http://www.smithbassforums.com/showthread.php?t=391"]http://www.smithbassforums.com/showthread.php?t=391[/url][/url] Thanks Pete
