Musima (German Upright)

[jstiel]

I bought my plywood Wilfer from Steve. Good bass, good price, good guy.

I bought a plywood Eberle from Steve in May, and it came with the chromcors and a rock maple bridge. One of these days, I'll change the chromcors and adjust the soundpost, but it sounds fine to me as is. I'm no expert but I think its a very well made bass and a bargain at a thousand bucks.

I've searched the 'net but haven't found much about this brand. Mainly pages in German, Russian, etc. The Musima web site doesn't appear to be active, at least at this moment.

TIA

The best of Musima bass, if you have a chance to have hand on it, is the series made by Eberhard Meinel. A realy good bass. Only the ribs were laminated. I bought this double bass in 1992 at the cost of 3,900$ and I sold it this year 5,000$. The double basses manufactured at Musima since the death of M.Meinel, are inferior quality which they were.

With the pleasure...
