| *SOLD* Juzek Laminated Bass - Serious Vintage Bass Mojo!
Juzek 3/4-size bass, laminated (plywood) construction. This bass throws off some major old school vibe! The sound is full and even, with a rich, mature tone for a laminated bass. Just the thing for trad jazz, roots, bluegrass, even for a school orchestra, where it spent part of its life. It would also make a great back-up bass for those outdoor venues and questionable bar gigs. No date shown on the label inside, but is estimated to be post-WWII (1950s/1960s). Overall condition of this bass is good and healthy. My local luthier recently inspected and set up this bass, including a bridge with adjusters and dressing the thick ebony fingerboard. The finish shows lots of wear with a few touch-up spots, and the front and back edges of the lower treble-side bout are especially worn; however, there is no delamination. The only repair is a small patch on the bass-side upper rib (toward the player) which is stable. Currently strung with Pirastro Obligatos for great all-around play. Located in the Buffalo, New York area. Priced to move at $1200!
