Romanian Reghin 3/4 double bass £1000   £950....small price dropette

Solid wood flat backed 3/4 sized double bass which I believe was made sometime in the 60’s.  Marked with yellow label Musikinstrumentenfabrik Reghin  Romania.

Solid wood front back and sides (ie not ply I am informed) with ebony fingerboard and tail piece.  It has a good quality  adjustable bridge and endpin from Martyn Bailey who set up the bass. 

The bass is in good shape for its age - no cracks, splits or earlier repairs -  just the usual surface scratches/dings.  It’s a really solidly built instrument that is ready to play now .  It was my first carved bass and its done a great job in a big band setting  and in smaller groups. 

Currently strung with newish D’addario Zyex and works ok for pizz and with bow.  Note pickup not included.  There is a case but tbh its pretty minimalist and will include a double bass stand

I’m based North Essex/Cambridge way if you want to try it out.   ...as for trades...well Im interested in trying a cello
