dudi8 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Hi! I'm thinking of getting this bass but I'm not sure about the price, its unknown builder and age (maybe hungarian), has maple top back and sides the seller wants 2400 euros, worth it?

bassace Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Blimey, that looks tasty. It's got handmade written all over it, and I don't just mean the scroll. Italian proportions - surely it's not by Luciano Golia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeEvans Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Snap it up before I come over there and find it myself. As long as it sounds good, that is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero9 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Only you can decide if it's worth the money. It looks quite petite and pretty, but the paint job doesn't do it for me. It looks like a fairly recent instrument. Are you sure it's a maple top, as that's unusual (normally spruce). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc S Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) Yes, it certainly looks lovely But as others have said, only you can decide on whether it's worth the price especially as you can't identify the maker But most importantly of all, you really should play it first Give it a good try-out, just to make sure a). It's a good quality instrument . It is worth the money c). It's right for you Good luck anyhow and let us know what you decide Edited May 12, 2015 by Marc S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 It looks nice from the photos, but hard to tell without seeing it in person. Maybe if you're a first-time DB buyer you could ask a player with some experience to come with you? Worth even getting in touch with a local DB player who is a stranger to you and asking for advice - can save you lots of hassle and make sure you get a good instrument.

dudi8 Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 Thanks for the advice, i will give it a think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbass Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 It would be worth paying a good luthier to try it out and give you a professional opinion. If you can find out the maker's name, post it here and you should get some global intelligence on the value and quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
