Aluminum 3/4 Bass for sale

[james condino]

1930s / 40s Aluminum bodied Pfretschner upright bass for sale in very good condition with excellent setup in natural aluminum finish. I wrote the detailed article on these and AlCoA basses in the spring issue of American Lutherie magazine; typically I see 3-4 of these per year passing through my shop. This one is nearly identical to the Pfretschner posted on my website. Unlike the AlCoAs with their monstrous and very cold welded aluminum necks, the Pfretschners came with a wooden neck that make a nice transition from your old standard; none of the winter gigs with 58 degree hands! Feel free to call me at the shop, 828.450.5440. The asking price is $3600, delivered anywhere in the continental US. Thanks for looking and enjoy the day.

Francois:
Thanks for the heads up.This is my first time using the talkbass forum. It seems like all of the different sites have their own local rules.

While I make my living as a luthier, writer, and teacher, in this case, I'm just an individual offering one of my personal instruments up for sale. I listed my web address and other info so that folks would be able to research who they are dealing with and recognize that I'm not a scam artist from some obscure country.

Enjoy the day.

Welcome James! I just wanted to say that James has been doing the work on my bass down here in Asheville and has done a GREAT job with both his bass skills and his patience with me. Thanks for getting my bass playing right James. Chris
