ChunkyMunky Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 (edited) A friend of mine is selling a relatively unknown double bass for £250. Apparently, it was made in Madrid in the '60s and not much else is known about it. Anyone else have any ideas about it?

Beer of the Bass Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Where does the information about it being from Madrid in the 1960s come from? If I had to guess, I would think it may be more recent than that. The pictures are quite low resolution - could you confirm if it's a laminated bass or if any parts are carved? The tailpiece looks like the cast metal ones I've seen on cheap modern Chinese basses and the tuners don't look out of place for that either, but beyond that it's hard to say. Still, £250 is probably OK for almost any intact bass in playable condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubsonicSimpleton Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 My guess would be Antoni Debut looking at the finish, tuners and tailpiece - but I might be way off the mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
