*SOLD* 5/8 Czech plywood

samfuq · #1 08-28-2009, 08:50 PM

Label says "Wenzel Kohler Luby Schonbach Czechoslovakia"
I don't know the age of the bass. I bought it used in Denver in the mid-1990's.
In excellent condition, except for a few nicks. No cracks or seam problems. Bass is in Boulder, CO. $1500 obo

38" string length
19" upper bout
24" lower bout

Includes K&K Bass Max pick-up and canvas cover. Currently strung with Corellis and I'll throw in a set of lightly used Spirocores.
A very nice bass for students or anyone with smaller hands. And it fits in almost any car...

At 38" scale, this is more an half-size, methinks.
5/8 would be 40".
Maybe I'm wrong though!

The most important factor in determining the "size" of an upright is its body size, string scale is secondary. Not that its written in stone anywhere, I've just been through this discussion with a few luthiers before.

Thanks.
And what about the dimensions that were given ?
Do they fit the 5/8 definition?

It'd be nice to have a few more measurements, particularly depth. From the information given, I'd probably list it as 1/2 size. Bass sizing can be really tough since there aren't any exact definitions for sizes.

some additional measurements:

Full height 67"
Center depth 10"
Middle (narrowest point between upper and lower bouts) 14"
Width at nut 1 5/8"
