NOW SOLD David Gage Czech Ease Hybrid (H1), Tineo wood finish, with lightweight flight case and Mooradian soft cover. £3500

[Lodekka]

Now sold. 

 

David Gage Czech Ease Hybrid H1 (carved front) with Tineo wood back and sides.

Lightweight flight case (underweight at airport check-in) and Mooradian soft cover. 

Virtually unused and in pretty much 'as new' condition. 

I have a variety of pickups here to put on the bass. The Realist works well, but we can experiment with various styles to find the best for your ears. 

I am happy to sell this bass without the flightcase, as a friend may be interested in buying it from me (but only if it's not required by the CE's new owner). 

This outfit would cost more than $6200 from David Gage today. If you add shipping to the UK plus the customs and tax charges, I think you'd be talking around the same in pounds sterling. I think this instrument represents a bargain at the now reduce price of £3300. 

I am selling a lot of gear at the moment to make way for a new bass purchase and to help with some home alteration costs, so there's more than the CE here to come and see. I have an Ampeg Baby Bass and various double basses on offer. 

Happy to help with pick up from airport or station if you were to travel a long distance. 

I am happy to discuss sending the bass to you via courier (I use a local man who specialises in transporting art works). 

Please get in touch to discuss anything with me.

Very nice indeed! Damn why does money have to be so hard to come by... GLWTS

That is the nicest looking upright I have ever seen 😍

I too have a Czech Ease - though mine doesn't have a carved front.
They are lovely basses - so lightweight and portable for an acoustic DB. Lovely player and sound too.

I have to say though, this one looks absolutely stunning!

PS. Whereabouts are you based Lodekka?
Might help your sale to let people know

[Lodekka]

Thanks --- yes, it's quite striking. I'm in Edinburgh. I know! For so many folks that's a long way away, but we are well served by air and rail and I'm happy to collect from the airport or station. I sold the Kolstein yesterday, and that's what the buyer did. He flew up from Stansted in the morning and was home again that afternoon.

Price drop. Open to offers around £3300

Oh wooow, what a beauty!

I've been lusting after one of these for years but not quite within my budget yet sadly. Planning on making a CE clone with a luthier friend however and your pictures will be an invaluable reference, thanks!

If only you were closer, I'd love to try it out. There can't be many owners in this country at all.

Oh too bad, you failed the test, he is a she

Surprised this lovely bass is still here - they don't come up very often

[Cathode_Follower]

I remember the last one on BC a few years back never sold either.

Trouble is I think that at that price, most people who could afford one will have the means to transport a 3/4 and aren't interested. (He says, having never actually checked the excess baggage costs for an upright )

 

EDIT - Just seen it's sold! Congrats to the new and old owners!
