(SOLD) Fully carved double bass 3/4 size - £1,500 £1500 Exeter

[Valere]

Fully carved double bass for sale.

3/4 size. Scale length is 41 inches.

Maple back and side, spruce top, ebony fingerboard and tailpiece. Currently strung with Helicore Hybrids Light.

I bought this bass in 1999 from the Hamilton Caswell violin shop in Bristol. It retailed for approx £2,000 at the time.

I took it to bass luthier John Sydenham who changed nut, tailpiece, endpin and dressed the fingerboard.

The bass is of Korean origin from the Universal Musical Co. and is labelled "Stradivari copy - Universal Model 300".

It's a great sounding instrument especially for pizzicato - it amplifies very well.

It's been my bass for over 20 years and I'm only selling it because I recently bought a new double bass.

I'm based in Exeter.

 

I attach a mp3 to give you an idea of what the bass sounds like in a jazz band context. You go to my head.mp3
