Burns-bass Posted March 8 Posted March 8 Lots and lots of basses. I think it’s fine to add pictures for info but if you’re selling it’s usually the done thing to subscribe. (It costs the people who run the forum quite a lot to keep it open I think and the cash helps.) Best of luck with them all! 3 Quote
Beer of the Bass Posted March 8 Posted March 8 Interesting mix of quite quirky and more conventional styles there. I'm enjoying the looks of the one in the first post with the Austrian/Hungarian style scroll and the unconventional wood choices, very individual looking. 1 Quote

I’m not the internet police and all that, but it’s a great community and worth supporting (which you have). I’m still utterly in awe that your father had 17 double basses. It’s quite incredible. Best of luck selling them, and I hope you get a great price. Quote

Best of luck selling them, and I hope you get a great price. Thank you. Believe it or not, I’m not overly interested in getting a good price. I would rather they all go to a good home and know the new owner is happy with it. I think that can only happen on a forum like this. The idea of putting them in the back of a flatbed and sending them to auction just feels bad to me. 3 Quote
philparker Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Some absolute beauts in that collection! Good luck with your sale(s) - and I think anyone getting one of those lovely basses will be giving them a good home. Hats off to your dad! 1 Quote

Kmamac Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Just to let the readers of this thread I had the pleasure of meeting Simon (the OP of the thread) and to see the many double basses he has. It’s quite an eclectic collection with something for everyone. I pleased to say I purchased a loverly double bass (to replace my dead , beyond economic repair laminated DB!!) and we agreed a great price. So if London is not too far for you and you need a double bass I would suggest you contact him soon before they’ve all gone! 3 Quote

I think it’s a great idea bringing someone that can shortlist some that would be suitable for your style of playing, and structurally good. As I said, I’m very happy you got what you wanted for a good price. I hope you have many years of pleasure playing it! Simon 2 Quote
