Small 3/4 Stentor/Zeller double bass for sale w/pickup £850

[Mike]

Hi everyone.

I'm selling a Romanian Stentor/Andreas Zeller double bass in Chelmsford. I've had it for a few years and it's been worked on by brilliant luthier Martyn Bailey. He's replaced the bridge (one with risers), reset sound post, repaired a cracked neck, added a really nice new spike, new strings, planed the fingerboard and generally made it a really nice instrument. I've spent a fortune on these repairs and upgrades but I'm selling it for £850 (or very near offer). It comes with a bag and fishman pickup. You're welcome to come and play it of course!

As I mentioned, the neck was broken at some point in its history, but it is a solid repair and recently Martyn redid the repair (big bolt through it!) There are a few unimportant cracks here and there, and it looks a little rough around the edges but otherwise fine.

Check out pictures here:

Hi, please can you tell me if this is the laminate, hybrid, or solid wood version.
Thanks, Richard

Hey Richard. I believe it is laminate back and sides and carved front. Thanks. M

Bump!

Do you have pictures of the cracks that are still there? And what strings are on there? And what model is the pickup?

I'll get some pics for you. Pickup is fishman BP 100 I think. Strings - can't remember what my luthier put on but they were for mainly pizz but also usable for arco. They were a big name premium brand - I'll try to recall. [/font][/color]
