fingers Posted April 13, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBeatNut Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Hint: try searching this forum (Double Bass EUB) for 'excelsior'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fingers Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
symcbass Posted April 13, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
