hubrad Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 (edited) My first serious bass bow. German made and stamped 'Alfred Knoll' which tends to mean the better bows of their range. I got it about 8 years ago for just under £400. Round Pernambuco stick, wire lapping. Half-mounted ebony frog with pearl eye. I had it rehaired to black, as at the time I vastly preferred the extra grip and ease of note starting afforded by the coarser hair. A bit of a TB chat on hair: [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f2/bow-hair-white-black-salt-pepper-521106/"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f2/bow-hair-...-pepper-521106/[/url] Pretty sure this model is now discontinued/updated, this place in USA has what looks like the thing at USD550 plus shipping and any import taxes. Including a nice lined case, I'm looking for £330. Only selling it as I'm now totally into german style bows and this one sits, forlorn, on the sidelines!

hubrad Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 Bump for 'forgot to say'... Weight (well, mass I suppose technically) is 126g. Length 722mm, 28 7/16" including button. Also forgot to say that at the time of buying it I tried four bows in the 250-400 quid range, this one being the most expensive and noticeably the clearest tone of the four.

Mike Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 This looks interesting - wish there was a way I could try it but I'm in Essex and not round your way in the foreseeable future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
