Beedster Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) I'm looking for a quality used instrument. I don't need a bow or case and have enough sets of strings to keep me going for several years (I say this as having searched around for a while it seems that these three components can add a few hundred to the price of a bass in this price range). The characteristic I'm probably most interested in is projection/volume, and that I least care about is cosmetic condition!

Mr Bassman Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) A friend of mine bought a couple of basses at [url="http://www.bonhams.com/cgi-bin/public.sh/WService=wslive_pub/pubweb/publicSite.r?sContinent=eur&screen=ResultsXML&iSaleNo=16904"]Bonhams Auction[/url] on 23 June 2009. Lots 342 & 343 One French and one [url="http://www.bonhams.com/eur/auction/16904/lot/342/"]German c1900 flatback[/url] Having recently moved house he hasn't done anything with either and has decided to sell the German. It has a big sound but will need some t.l.c. I can find out more if you like Chris Edited March 8, 2012 by Mr Bassman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beedster Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) I've had a few lovely basses offered and I'm close to making a decision. Last call for anything else that's out there? Edited March 5, 2012 by Beedster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
