*SOLD* FS: New Standard Hybrid La Scala

It's with a very heavy heart that I put my new DB up for sale. Some serious financial issues have arisen and I can't even afford lessons right now. It has very little play time on it and it's in brand new condition. I knew when I received it that I probably wouldn't be able to keep it, so I've probably only played it for an hour or two at most. I'm amazed by how much it opened up after only very little play time. It's already singing nicely.

The Bass is absolutely stunning in person! The thick spruce top is just plain gorgeous and it has some very nice flame on the back. I had it stained a little bit darker than usual and it turned out great; I really wish I could keep it.

Here's a link to the specs and I'm happy to answer any question.

My beautiful girlfriend is not included.

Price: I'm asking $5900 for now. That saves around $700 on a brand new Double Bass for anyone local. It would have more play time just sitting in shop. I'm willing to entertain partial trade offers for the right bass guitar or guitar, but I need at least half the asking price in cash.

Sorry to hear about your troubles, this is a really gorgeous bass! I wish I had the dough to take it off your hands.

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I wish I didn't have to let it go, but the money is for a good cause.

That's a very beautiful bass. I've played a couple of NS La Scalas and they are even more impressive up close and personal of course. Would make an excellent bass for almost any type of player.

Good luck with the sale and hope things work out for the better soon.

Thanks for the kind words guys and it is definitely much more impressive in person. I was really surprised by how quickly the tone started to open up.

Still available. I'm trying to put a ring on that beautiful girl's finger, so the price is negotiable if buying outright. I'm still accepting partial trades, but cash is king.
