sold: 1920's Hungarian Double Bass (Blonde) project £789

I'm thinking of passing this onto another BC'er if any body is keen. Everything is there, although the soundpost has dropped. Painted f/board has been stripped to reveal maple, which has been treated with Rustins PLastic Coating (used it on FL basses before and it's great - similar to Jaco's concept but easier to apply/finish than boat epoxy!). Two bridges. Excellent cover & stand and I could include a set of the new/gold tuners (as cost) if preferred/wanted.

How does the Two Bridges thing work?

Where are you sir? I can't see it from my phone sorry.

Would you be interested in selling the new tuners separately?

Hi david, I've been looking at this for months but it would be a big commitment to collect let alone to finish! Can you tempt me with any more information? Dimensions would certainly be a start, but history etc would help also. I assume the bottom pic is the bass before it was stripped and dismantled? If so, how did it sound/play then? It looks blonde in the pic but the scroll appears dark in the pic next to it, is the neck original to the bass? Any/all info gratefully received.
Cheers
Chris

Hi David, is it possible to share the extra info on this thread that was requested by Chris. I'm after an older instrument to convert to left handed so hopefully could be a possibility. Many thanks
