Check it out!

Looks stellar. A little too big for my tastes, and about $20k out of my price range, but I hope you find a good home for her!

Thanks, Skyre12, check out some modern basses, some are really good( I hear ones like Hachez are getting up there, though)

I have been- I wish I could afford a Hachez. I've heard it's somewhere in the high 40s lower 50s.

really! i didnt know they were quite that much!
well what about an an Arvi-- theyre great- around 20 for a new one, less for an earlier one. Or Pollman, some are really nice.

Yeah, I guess winning all of those gold medals pushed the price up, haha! A friend of mine at school had an Arvi- it was a little odd for my tastes. Kind of felt really heavy, a little unwieldy, but it could have just been that one. I've looked into a couple... But I'm hedging most of my bets on finding something at ISB.

Price dropped - $39500

I'm happy to see this. It reaffirms the identity of the Tewksbury I owned. The outline, the arching, the ff's. They're all exactly like mine. I'm curious about the purfling. Would you happen to have a very clear photo of the purfling on the top? I loved my Tewks, an awesome bass.
