WITHDRAWN German Double Bass--(sell or exchange) £5000

[gypsyjazzer]

Reluctant to sell my German circa 1880's flat back double bass. A bit of it's history:

Bought approx. 30 years ago from a classical player. Has been repaired in the past--but no signs of 'movement' since I have owned the bass. I had the bass set up by Roger Dawson (London area) quite a few years ago for jazz style--new quality tuning machines fitted. Written valuation in 2006 for £7000.Comes with Ehrlund pick up and Ehrlund pre-amp--great sound. Mooradian gig bag included.

Would consider a trade / cash adjustment (if necessary) for top quality acoustic fretless bass guitar or top quality--no cutaway (or single cutaway)--single pickup archtop guitar. (Perhaps you have both?)

What a fabulous looking bass. Unfortunately out of my price range, however I do have a high-end fretless acoustic bass for sale. It's currently on commission sale at The Bass Gallery. Here's a link: http://thebassgallery.com/index.php/flyer-fretless-5.html
