ambient Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) I picked this up on Tuesday from a guy in London. It needs new strings and a setup, which should be done next week. Overall I’m very pleased with it. It’s a Stentor Conservatoire, approximately ten years old. The guy actually sold it as a Stentor Student 2, I noticed the Conservatoire label inside earlier today. The Conservatoire model is quite a lot better than the Student model, and consequently a lot more money. It has a carved front and back - the back is really nicely flamed.

Waddo Soqable Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Hopefully she wont be scratching at your new bass... you really don't want that kind of "relicing" ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philparker Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 That's a lovely looking bass and you may have got it a better price if the vendor thought it was 'student' rather than 'conservatoire' (I know that is the same with classical guitar models, often by some margin) and to have a solid top and back is also a step forward in terms of quality. I hope you enjoy! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will do. It’s probably best to get a used one if you can. I had it set up and new strings fitted. It’s a really lovely instrument. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
