Ian Davies Posted May 9, 2018 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
Burns-bass Posted May 9, 2018 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.
Ian Davies Posted November 27, 2018 Author 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
