For Sale: Stentor Student solid top (model 1950) 3/4 Double - £600 - *SOLD* £600

[Old Horse Murphy]

For sale is my lovely Stentor Student 3/4 sized Double Bass (model 1950) with solid top and laminated back and sides. It's around 10 years old at a guess but is in overall very good condition apart from the odd chip (pictured). It comes with the original padded cover and bow. 
 

It has recently been strung with D'Addario Helicore strings which are a nice medium/low action and is being set up (including fitting a decent adjustable bridge) by those great guys in The Bristol Violin Shop. 
 

It's a lovely colour and not that awful fake tan, luminous orange colour that a number of entry-intermediate levels DB's seem to come in. 
 

It's a really decent DB for the money and has stood me in good stead but I have recently upgraded. 
 

I'm looking for £630 picked up from near Monmouth but am happy to travel an hour or so to hand this over. I'm happy to include a super Tom and Will gigbag for £700 all in if a potential buyer prefers.

Replied and then nothing...

This DB is currently with The Bristol Violin Shop for a set up and to have a good quality adjustable bridge fitted. I decided to get the work done to save any potential buyer having to get it done themselves and it will be picked up on Friday 1st. 
 

Given the work will be down as already paid for I'm looking for £630 for the DB and the original gigbag. If a potential buyer wants the superb Tom and Will gigbag I have advertised, I'll do the whole lot for £700.

I can vouch for the fantastic work the Bristol Violin Shop do. With an adjustable bass and a set up this is a steal.

Back from the workshop and fitted with a lovely new adjustable bridge and it plays beautifully.
