Thomann 111SN 3/4 plywood double bass - *SOLD* £475 Cambridge

[cbd]

For sale is my first upright - a Thomann 111sn plywood bass. Bought this in 2018 where it had fairly limited use until a couple of years ago when I finally got round to learning how to play properly - and since then has been regularly played and gigged, enough that I decided to upgrade, hence the sale!

 

 

This model is still for sale at Thomann - the description there says these are made of basswood, but I distinctly remember it saying Cedar when I bought it, and there's some really nice flame on the back and sides. Do however note the scratch on the heel:

 

I've fitted the bass with adjusters and a pickup (can remove this if desired though):

 

Some other pics:

 

 

Case included (if you want it, it's nothing amazing but it does the job) - and I've also got the german-style bow it came with or a similar-quality french-style bow I could throw in too (will try and photograph these later!).

 

The bass is set up and ready to play as I've been gigging this regularly for the last couple of years - currently with a lowish-medium action but there's room to go lower for someone who wants to build up hand strength slowly. It's received nothing but praise from teachers and gig-bookers so I'll be sad to see it go, but unfortunately I can't keep two double basses in the house.

 

Logistics-wise, I'm just outside Cambridge. Could maybe meet within a reasonable radius for fuel money, or alternatively I've got a few gigs around the SE over the next few weeks so might be able to do a detour if things line up. Also very close to a train station to London so could meet there.

 

Any questions just let me know, cheers!

Chris
