    I have wondered if mine is a solid top. If I got a real close up photo of the edge of the inside edge of the f hole would you be able to tell?

    Yes, it's Nitro finish, that's for sure.

    Hi Beer of the Bass - thanks for that. I will keep looking to see if I can spot anything similar.

    I recently acquired a "Blonde" ¾ Double Bass, it plays well, sounds great, and it's a real good looker, too, and I wonder if you could help me identify it, and maybe put a date to it, as there is no label or markings at all. Its previous owner bought it secondhand in the early 1980s, so it must pre-date that - maybe the seventies/sixties - or earlier. The lady that I bought it from was a tutor of string instruments, so that it was only ever used for tuition purposes for more than the last 40 years. This means that it is in great condition, never having been outside her house in her ownership. I know that there are far fewer blonde basses than the regular darker brown finish, so I thought it may be possible to work out its age and maybe the brand of it - the nearest thing I can find in pictures, would maybe be a Kay? The way that it is constructed is slightly different to "normal" in that there is a broad fillet of wood running round both the belly and the back of the bass where they attach to the sides - not the usual overlap of just the thickness of the top and back. It's finished in a nitrocellulose polish/varnish. Many thanks for any help you can give.

    Like you say a good price - Behringer are getting better as time goes on - plus there's a 3 year warranty.

    So I did message you a good while ago asking of you'd send it by courier, but not had any word back - is it still available & for sale? My hone number is 0778 070 6991. Thanks, Geoff

    Here’s my Electric Upright Bass stand for sale – it’s a really well made stand and very strong. A good piece of kit by Konig & Mayer and in “as new” condition. I no longer have an electric upright so it’s got to go. See the link below for full specification, and the price which is £108 if you order a new one from Amazon. Konig & Meyer 14160-000-55 920 to 1620mm Stand for Electric Double Bass - Black : Amazon.co.uk: Musical Instruments & DJ I’m in Royton, near Oldham, Lancashire, just 5 minutes off junction 20 of the M62 Selling for £60. Buyer collects, or I can pack it and send it by EVRI – it weighs 2.6 kilos, so a packed weight of under 5 kilos will cost £8 tracked and insured for UK the mainland, but you’d have to pay me first, of course.

    3/4 double bass "Tatra by Rosetti – Stradivarius Model" made at the famous Cremona Factory (now known as Strunal Schönbach) in Luby, Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic) some time in the mid 1980s, I understand. Upright bridge to nut string length 40”/101.5cm. It’s in really good condition – only a couple of minor scuffs to the finish either side of the edge of the upper bout. Comes complete with soft case/”gig bag”, and stand. I’ve fitted the bass with the Presto |Nylon Tape Wound strings which feel great and have the look of old school “gut” strings. (The original old steel tape wound ones are in the Presto box and are included as spares). It hardly gets played at all now, so it’s up for sale. I’m in Royton, near Oldham, Lancs, just 5 minutes off Junction 20 of the M62.

    Hello again - it's been a while ...... I have been mostly playing (hangs head in shame) SIX stringers- both electric and acoustic, whilst the "lockdown" has been running. Pretty solitary playing bass to yourself. Anyway I've become enthused again, so thought I'd have a look at the site and say "Hello" again, hope you're all keeping the low end going out there. Cheers, Geoff
