Boosey and Hawkes 'Artia' 3/4 size Double Bass - *SOLD* £1000 Manchester

[andybass23]

This bass has been owned by various people on this forum, and I believe it dates from around 1983 if my memory serves me well, loving named Bertha by previous owners. 

This lovely ply bass has served me well for the past 9 years, and has been gigged and recorded a lot in this time, I'll be sad to see it go.

 

There's the usual dings and repairs pictured below, also a very small crack appearing on the back which has been like that for many years and not gotten any worse in my time. 

 

The bass is currently strung with steel strings, and i'll also inclide some faux gut strings (which can be heard on the first video), also included is a turtle bag bass case ( slightly tatty but solid and protective ) and a david gage realist pickup.

 

I'm located in south Manchester if people would like to come and try it.

 

here's a couple of videos to hear it in action:
