nipplebass Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 (edited) [left]Dont know a great deal about the bass to be honest. bought it about 6 years back now from the guy who played in a local Jazz band. As far as I know its a German factory bass (pre WW2) its full scale and the strings are flats that apparently cost him over £120 to buy. There is a crack between the neck and the headstock that was already there when I bought it. the guy said it had been that way for years while he had it and hasn't effected the playability at all so didnt bother getting it fixed.[/left] [left][color=#000000]As far as I can tell its a solid wood body, but as I said previousley I dont really know a great deal about DB. Prices I've beeen quoted for it vary between 600 - 900 so I'll aim for somwhere in the middle for the asking price of £700. I may very well be way off with my estimation, as I said I dont know a great deal about DB and am just going off what I've been told.[/color][/left] [left][color=#000000]Your more than welcome to come round have a play and see it for yourself. Just drop me a PM on here or you can email me at [email="[email protected]"][email protected][/email][/color][/left] Thanks for looking, Lee Edited December 5, 2012 by nipplebass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisnameistaken Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 To get a better idea of the scale, could you measure the length of the string from nut to bridge? Looks a handsome bass from what I can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
