Beautiful!
You don't seem the same strings on all the pics.
I think I recognized Obligatos on some, and for the others (blue silk), maybe Jargar mediums?

Thank you,
at first it was equipped with Corelli tx (tungstène) very well for the bow, nowadays these are obligatos, better for pizzicato playng.

What a fantastic looking little bass! I can't believe how clean it is. I wish I could.

It also has a very nice sound, that's true, to try it is a little bit so far, but if you spend a day in Marseilles...
Best regards

Wow.
It was worth looking in just to see that little beauty. The machines look so huge compared to the tuning box.
I love it.
Thanks, Stephane.

That's just a gorgeous little bass. So refined and balanced. The scroll is amazing. How are we supposed to play this bass if you're in France??? Bring it over to NY!

You know, if I had a young son that might grow into something that size........I was just showing him that bass. He loves it. Saw the pic of it sitting on the couch and said "it's sleeping daddy, it's sleeping".
Now if I could just find an extra $17K...
