3/4 fully carved double bass. Over 100 years old and of German origin. I've been told that it's probably a "Pfretzschner" since it has their trademark purfling loop on the upper back. The bass had a lot of repair work done including neck reset, crack repairs, new bridge and is very solid and reliable. Equipped with an adjustable bridge and has new Dr Thomastik strings.Has a D neck with a 42.5" mensure .Deep rich sound suitable for jazz or orchestral work. Bass has a monster low end and needs a good home.

I'll try to get a recording. The bass is now stored 2 hours from my location so it may take a bit.
