My Gigging Double Bass For Sale *SOLD* £1400 Northumberland

[gypsyjazzer]

Due to 'Old age creeping in' (me) and recent hip operation I need to sell my trusty DB--I now play an EUB--for portability. (EUB not the same but 'does the job'). My double bass has served me well over the past 40 years.

A good sounding bass. Well looked after. Plays very well. Ply back and sides with I believe a spruce top. No splits or cracks and well maintained. Side and thumb position markings.

Fitted EP 'Weich' (light strings). Good for pizz and arco. Adjustable bridge. Comes with quality padded 'Mooridian' case/cover. Open to sensible offers. PM me if interested.

Are there any makers marks inside the bass? Thanks  

[gypsyjazzer]

Hi asaphbass

No makers marks inside the bass.

[asaphbass]

Okay thanks. Just one more question- do you know if the fingerboard is real ebony or just an ebonite/ other wood? Thanks ! 

[gypsyjazzer]

As far as I know--ebony. No wear on the fingerboard after many years of practice / gigging. Good to play. No 'gooves / concave' wear from fingers.

Would exchange for quality Acoustic Archtop Guitar---what have you?

I don't have a stake in this but that looks like a perfect beginner bass - looks nicely set up, quality strings, sturdy case. It's even got position markers! Good luck with the sale.

And just in case it helps sway any potential buyers, those Mooradian bags are the business. New ones sell for upwards of $500 in the States.

GLWTS!

That’s a boosey and hawkes golden Strad if I’m not mistaken. Pine top. Looks like the maple board has been replaced and it’s been refinished. I have one, great basses. 

I’ve had a Golden Strad and it does look very likely?
