JoeEvans Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 This ought to be worth a look once the pictures go up. I've got one of these and it's brilliant - bigger sound than much more expensive instruments, if a bit rustic in finish. £400 would be a bargain if it's in decent condition. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Boosey-Hawkes-Golden-Strad-upright-double-bass-collect-Leeds-niccccce-jazz-club-/281783337744?hash=item419b988310 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeEvans Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 Photos now up, this looks like a real bargain! I'd grab it if I lived near Leeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roman_sub Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 only £10 shipping though - surely actual shipping costs would be more?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 [quote name='roman_sub' timestamp='1440942040' post='2854863'] only £10 shipping though - surely actual shipping costs would be more?! [/quote] This is a problem if the seller refuses to cover the extra cost, which would presumably be a big no-no for eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeEvans Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 It actually says 'collect Leeds' in the main heading so I'm guessing that the delivery charge is an error and that it's pick-up only. I don't think I'd ever be able to trust a courier to deliver a DB anyway, unless it was prepared by a luthier (bridge off etc) and in a massive hard case.
