punkypuncher Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 Double Bass Wanted 3/4 Live in Dorset,don't mind driving to collect. Around £500 is my budget,unless your up for trades,as I have quite a collection if guitars & basses.
keeponehandloose Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 i have an artia excelcior that Was going ebay in new year. it has been refinished to a blonde oil stain, looks nice. when i got it the neck was painted black, which is currently back to bare wood. It has what looks like a new fingerboard, maybe rosewood, really smooth. i put a boxwood tailpiece on it to match the fingerboard and fitted a new bridge. it needs to go to fund other stuff. would like to see £450 for it. I think the Artia model is top of range Boosey and Hawkes, taking into account that the neck needs finishing I reckon thats a fair price pitch. if you want fotos let me know, merry xmas. BTW i am in manchesrer , but willing to meet.
