Let's try this again, I need this thing out of my house. No scam here, you come and pick it up and see for yourself.
I just picked this up from an old man who owned the bass for over 30 years. He gave me an appraisal that was done on the bass in 1976, which shows all the cracks and repairs that are still solid on the bass, the appraisal showed a value of $1,000 30 years ago. The bass sounds great, looks awesome, I have no clue how old it is. The gentleman I bought it from said he bought it from the bass player for some famous jazz cat, can't remember the name. Anyhow, I don't play upright. Looking for someone to come pick this up from me. Probably needs a setup, but still plays fine, sound post is in place. I'll be happy to take pictures.

$1300 NO Shipping
thanks

Can you contact me directly by email:

I'd like to discuss your bass in more detail, perhaps by phone.

Also, it looks like there's a damaged corner on the upper treble bout. Any close-up pics?

Thanks!

Do you have any pictures of the neck? Are you sure you won't ship?

Hi,

I wrote 5 days ago but haven't received a reply. Is this bass still for sale? I live a short 12-hour drive away, but would like to discuss the bass in greater detail before heading south to pick it up.

Thanks for letting me know.
