Ian Davies Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 (edited) Pollmann Gamba from 1967 A fine example of a Pollmann bass, big smooth sound and easy to play. Would suit an orchestral or jazz player, would also make a powerful solo instrument. Recently serviced and new end pin fitted by Martin Penning. New Belcanto strings. Bridge from Malcolm Healey 4 years ago. The instrument is in great condition with no work needed at all. Measurements: string length: 104.7 cm / 41 1/4” length of back: 109.5 cm / 43 1/8” rib depth: 21.6 cm / 8 1/2” width of upper bouts (at widest point): 49.4 cm / 19 7/16” width of lower bouts (at widest point): 64.5 cm / 25 3/8” Beautiful figured maple sides and back, fine grained spruce top, carved outer linings with a deep golden varnish with a hint of red. Price: £15,500, reduced to £14,000 Can come with a light soft case if you wish. Pollmann website here with similar used Pollmann basses for sale: http://www.poellmann-contrabass.de/indexframe.htm You are very welcome to come over to try the bass. As I am a private seller, trials are regrettable not possible unless a returnable deposit for the full asking price is made and the instrument is on your insurance. Enjoy the pictures and thanks for looking Edited January 16, 2019 by Ian Davies 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burns-bass Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I saw this bass down at Martin's workshop and it looked absolutely beautiful. I didn't play it (obviously!) Good luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Davies Posted November 27, 2018 Author Share Posted November 27, 2018 In the New Year I shall be taking the bass to a dealer. In the meanwhile the price has been dropped to £13,000. A lot of money I know but a very reasonable price for the bass (and it’ll be much more form a dealer!) Thanks for looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
