dougal Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) Up for grabs is my 2004 Zeller Double Bass, including: Bass Bow Gewa Case (not pictured) quiver All this for only £750 £700. I bought this many years ago (I recon 2008), and it has served me well in orchestral situations, and taken me as far as ABRSM grade 6 classical. It's strung with orchestral strings at the moment. This bass was set up by Malcom Healy of Healy violins. This Zeller double bass features a carved solid spruce front, laminated maple back, sides and amber gold varnish. It is fitted with an ebony fingerboard and tailpiece and full plate machines. This is local pick-up from Chertsey / Woking / Central London only. I will deliver for petrol money within 100 miles. It does show signs of having been used for 8 years by myself. The previous owner was extremely careful of it so most of these are a result of having been left on the floor. Reasons for selling: I haven't played it for 2 years. I left the orchestra after moving house and having a child. I keep promising myself to go back one day but it hasn't materialised. This is too nice (and cumbersome) to have sitting around. I'll get photos of the gewa case if it's a deal breaker. Upper body bashes. lower body bashes. Dated. Easier than taking a p-bass neck off. The back is ply. There is a discoloured band on the fingerboard. Edited April 8, 2018 by dougal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 This is a helluva lot of DB for not much money. I have one of these and I've played two more, and all three of them sound way better than they should at this price point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
