Double bass 3/4 size - Musima - *WITHDRAWN* £700 Saffron Walden- Essex

[bassplayer76]

German double bass probably made in the 70’s in East Germany. 
Great gigging bass, have used it a lot with a realist pickup (not included), stays in tune and amplifies well.

Had a neck repair at some point but still plays beautifully and totally stable. 
Just been set up by luthier with d’addario helicore strings. 
Really good condition and comes with a soft case.

I have an early 70s Musima as my gigging bass and its built like a bricks***house. 60+ gigs a year for the last 10 years, in and out of the back of cars, vans, pickups and on one occasion a tractor, and never missed a beat.

Mine also has a neck break in the same place. It's been professionally repaired and not moved a mm in all the time I've owned it.

These are great basses for folk, blues, jazz and rockabilly. They amplify really well and can take some serious abuse.

At £700 I would buy this out of sheer principle, but I already have 3 double basses and couldn't physically fit a fourth in my house.

Yup, I had a Meinel that came out of the Musima factory and later an unnamed East German ply with a mended neck which I always assumed was a  Musima. Both were excellent basses.

Still available - an excellent working bass.
