This bass was a custom order by a professional orchestra player who picked it up from the shop in Germany himself (I have pics of him with the Gotz family, the Wilfer shop, the person who varnished the bass) and it was his orchestra bass until his death. I got the bass from his family, Lisa Gass reshaped the fingerboard for better bowing and gave it a fresh set up. Belcantos and a Spiro low C on right now.
$14,000 but only local sales (Los Angeles). Sorry, no shipping.
5-strings are just one too many for me (nor do I have any need for an extension) and the neck is too big for me. If there isn't any demand, my plan is to take it back to Lisa in the fall to get it cut down to a 4 string and then I keep it. But before doing it, maybe somebody wants a 5 string. Can't go back once it is smaller and 4 string.
Pictures and measurements are in this thread from last year:
