fingers Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Hi. I've been offered a double bass by someone on this forum (hope they don't mind me posting this! ). It's a "Boosey and Hawkes excelsior /golden strad circa 1959/60", blonde and he's asking for £740 (which includes a bow and rosin). Just wondering what people's opinions were on this bass? Also is this a good price? Cheers. Quote
BigBeatNut Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Hint: try searching this forum (Double Bass EUB) for 'excelsior'. Quote
fingers Posted April 13, 2009 Author Posted April 13, 2009 Thanks, I was searching for "excelsior golden strad" and getting nothing . Still couldn't find much on the price, is £740 decent? It just sounds a bit much to me (for a laminate), but I'm not really sure as this will be my first double bass. Cheers. Quote
symcbass Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Nice bass for a laminate, the price.......the last excelsior I saw sold for about £500. That was a later one though. Golden strads(the earlier ones ) come up now and again, It would need to be really special for that price. PS Mine cost me £250. Quote
