I'm selling my Juzek, and here are the particulars -
upper bout - 20 1/4 "
lower bout - 25 5/8 "
rib depth at "C" bout - 7 3/4 "
string length - 41 7/8 "
There are two labels inside the bass. The first reads
John Juzek - Violinmaker in Prague
master art copy of:
Czechoslovakia 1930
And the second says
Restored by Zachary S. Martin
January 2004 Providence R.I.
The bass has been a workhorse, so it has cracks, but all the repairs are well done and holding tight. It also has a scroll-grafted neck with wood tuners. It's a great sounding bass, with that classic Juzek sound (i'm thinking Christian McBride), the only reason I'm selling it is because it sounds/feels better with higher tension strings as opposed to the guts I use. The bass comes with a Mooradian bag, and the price for everything is $9250. If you need more info or pictures, PM me or try
