Duesenberg Basses

[Alfie]

I love the look of [url="http://www.duesenberg.de/"]Duesenberg basses[/url] such as these:




As they are German, and as everything is so expensive in the UK, I was wondering whether any German BCers know of any good shops in Germany that sell them and have good websites in English.

Also has anyone got any experience of these things, I have never played one.

[GreeneKing]

Oooh, I particularly like that Semi

I was knocking around Hook Norton's brewery doing repairs in 1977

Is the Sun still there?

[setekh]

I know [url="http://www.ppc-music.de/"]http://www.ppc-music.de/[/url] sells them

the website isn't in english, but navigation is easy enough and those guys have good reputation.

I know it's probably not what you want, but visit the Waterstone Guitars site - I have a twelve string TP12 that looks just the same as the blue bass pictured - they also make a four and eight as well.

Nice. I watched the superbowl yesterday, and Tom Pettys' guitarist was playing a guitar very similar to the bass on the left.

[Thunderthumbs]

That blue semi's lovely :brow:

[Deep Thought]

Chap I know has one of their semi-acoustic guitars-gorgeous thing, very Art Deco.

[setekh]

on a different note - does anyone know of similar (cool) basses with a price tag of under €1000?

[Faithless]

God, the red one is sexy

Try the Epiphone Jack Casady... Lovely looking bass with a real distinctive sound as well.

I already have a Waterstone Indra, which I love. I am mostly interested in the Duesenberg semi-hollow because I like the colour.

Also I did watch Tom Petty last night and I am fairly sure that the guitarist was playing a duesenberg.

It was definitely a Duesenberg that TP's guitarist was playing.

Not too keen on the go faster stripe version but they do a gorgeous bass with a club bass (hofner) shaped body. Short scale IIRC

They have that blue one in Music Ground Manchester looks stunning in the flesh.

Oh yeah? Is that the one opposite the BBC?

[GreeneKing]

Here's a link to the Waterstone Guitars site. It's worth a look. Expensive I suspect, very nice though, a black Indra, now that would look good.

When I got my Indra Waterstone recommened Bass Northwest, and they were very good. If you buy direct from Waterstone, the bass is more expensive but the shipping is much cheaper and overall it is cheaper to buy from Waterstone. I bought from Bass Northwest because they do a proper setup, and I don't think shipping the place to cut costs when dealing with a bass.

Before taxes the bass and shipping cost me $844. Factoring in taxes, the whole thing cost me just under £600 and frankly that is a bargin for such a beautiful bass.

Eastwood Classic? They go for £350-ish over here.

[BigRedX]

Or maybe something by [url="http://www.dipintoguitars.com/index.html"]Dipinto[/url]?

[E_MaN]

Wow some great looking basses here....

[Buzz]

That semi is gorgeous, and is that a bound neck I spy as well? Yummy.

[Jono Bolton]

That Eastwood looks awesome! Very cool. Same with this Di Pinto:

In Black or Sunburst, not keen on the gold. And for some reason all the Deluxe models have that horrible silver headstock that doesn't even match.

[Low End Bee]

I'm quite keen on one of these. Especially the earlier single pickup model. If anyboby wants to move one on let me know.
