chrkelly Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I absolutely love this bass but unfortunately being quite old, it can suffer a bit in the hold of the plane and I'm a bit fed up with having it repaired all the time. It's probably not very likely, but are they any forum members that would be up for a trade with a modern instrument of similar value and playing qualities? I bought it around this time last year from a guy who hadn't played it in 30 years and it's really improved in the time I've had it, thanks to various setup tweaks and regular professional use. It's a typical German shop bass from c1880. 7/8 size with a 105cm stop. It's a great chamber music and jazz bass, projects well and is very consistent string to string. Valued at £4000.
BobVbass Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 what a truly beautiful instrument - I'd love to swap but given the abuse I give "baby" yours would be matchwood after a couple of shows. Fantastic though, I love it....

Bump for a nice guy with whom I've done a few trades already Edited March 24, 2011 by Clarky
