Stentor Student 3/4 Double Bass for sale - SOLD £700

[Dutfield]

Here's my lovely Stentor Student double bass for sale. It has a solid top and composite sides/back. Recently set up and serviced by Thwaites of Watford. It has a Realist pickup, an adjustable bridge and comes with a bow and a gig bag. She's in very good condition but does have a few little chips. This is a great bass for someone who's just starting out or as a gigging workhorse.

Just like to vouch for the seller as being genuine and trustworthy. He has listed his upright and joined BC upon my suggestion.

Cheers

Hi. I'm interested how does she sound when bowed. I'm looking for a workhorse to cover both jazz and classical?

Hi Andy,

It sounds nice bowed. I don't play it with the bow a huge amount but I've heard it played with the bow by my Greg (who posted above) and it sounded wonderful to my ears.
Adjustable bridge means you can quite easily set it up to suit your needs.

Cheers,

Harry

Good basses, these.. here's me doing a demo video some time ago, the bass being freshly unpacked and set up.
I see there's a realist pickup (use this myself) and an adjustable bridge on the one for sale.. are the strings original (as in video) or did you change those, too? That can also make a big difference to tone and response.

Good video. Cheers.

It is a really nice bass, especially since it was set up by Thwaites.

It has the original strings on it.

[Dutfield]

Still available.

If you find yourself down south feel free to come and try it out. I'm sure you would be very taken with it.

I can't believe this great Double Bass is still here at this price!
There were no such bargains to be had when I was first looking to buy a DB
