attackbass Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I have the Rosseti bass mentioned in the topic title - I was wondering if it would have any value at all or any use to a beginner? The Bridge on it has warped and the Estring has snapped. The other strings are ok, I think they are Spirocores if I can remember correctly. Is this bass worth selling and for how much or should I just chop it up and burn on the bonfire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieBenzies Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I think I just over reacted when I read stradivarius, now I have come to my senses on a few levels. Upload some pictures, that would be useful. Any idea where the bass was made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBus Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) Try posting some pics and that would give us all a better idea. Edit: Ah, Jamie beat me to it. Edited December 20, 2011 by BassBus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPJ Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) Google comes up with that being a Chinese bass with an Italian name. It should have some kind of value, depends on the shape e.g. open seams, cracks etc... Can you find a luthier in your area to have a look at it?

attackbass Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 I had a look through the F-hole and it is made in Czechoslovakia, can't remember the name of the factory - began with L... This was the bass from my school that they gave me when I left about 10 years ago. Think it was prob bought when the school opened in the 70s. I'll have to get some pics taken. I don't think it has any open seems or cracks just usual wear and tear of beeing put in a car and obvious being standing in store room for years! I just bought a thomann bass so need to shift this. I'm also considering selling a mint condition NS Design Wav electric upright tho I'm not hundred percent on this cos I know with my luck as soon as I sell some one will offer me a gig and ask for me to play it.

BassBus Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 If it was built in [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Czechoslovakia then it could well be a decent bass. The eastern European basses have quite a good rep. NS Design build most of their basses in the Czech Republic. I'd go with the idea of having a luthier look at it.[/font][/color] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

attackbass Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 I'm pretty sure the bass is a ply wood bass. I'll take some pics of it and see what people think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] If the bass is sound, it is well worth having a new bridge fitted and the snapped string replaced. Those old eastern European ply student basses are a world apart from what comes out of China these days. Don't chop it up! If you want to shift it as it is, feel free to PM me with a price as we're not too far apart... ficelles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
