Caddy Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Good morning all, I've got a 3/4 Romanian Double Bass that I got new in '93ish. It's got a solid front, and is in pretty good nick. We bought it from Thwaits in Watford, and have still got the receipt. As the description says I'm getting married and really need the money, also I live in a shoe box and haven't played properly in over ten years. Are there any web sites / places that I could go to for a valuation? Thanks in advance Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassace Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Go to Thwaites? You're following a fine tradition, eg my brother sold his EBO in '66 to buy an engagement ring. Enjoy your marriage and then later think about another DB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caddy Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 Thanks for that, will call them. Luckily the father in law to be plays bass guitar so I can keep my hand in. My fiancé must be very understanding, what with my motorbikes and the bass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougal Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 In my experience, the thump of a single is soon diminished by the pitter-patter of tiny feet. (YMMV) Enjoy it whilst you can!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caddy Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 Thanks Dougal, well I have got two thumpers, one screamer, and a delicious twin (AJS, Matchless, James, and a Suzuki). ;-D I've heard back from Thwaites and am pleasantly suprised; it's worth about £1200. Not bad. What do youse all think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velvetkevorkian Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 That's about right (possibly slightly generous) for a Zeller IME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
