Hello,
For sale is a handmade bass made by Luciano Golia of Turin, Italy. The bass is in near mint condition, with no damage or marks to speak of. The only reason I am selling is because I broke my wrist two years ago and have been unable to play upright since then. It has lived in a gig bag since then. The bass deserves to be played and I hope that I can find a new owner who will cherish the bass as much as I did.
The back and sides are aged Italian Poplar and the top is Italian spruce from the Valdifiemme region. The bass included Irving Sloane tuners.
The dimensions are as follows.
Height: 74" (6'2")
Upper Bout: 18" (45cm)
Lower Bout: 25" (63.5cm)
Depth: 8.5" (21.5cm)
String Length: 40.5" (103cm)
Eb or D Neck: D Neck

Some of you may have seen my previous listing for this bass. At the request of Mr. Golia I took the thread down. If you are interested in learning more about the bass, feel free to pm me so that we can discuss pricing and possible auditions.
I would strongly encourage you to contact Luciano Golia directly as he is extremely friendly and more than willing to discuss details and history of the bass. He can be reached at the following e-mail address.

Have a great day
PS: If anyone is concerned with my feedback, I assure you that this was a misunderstanding and is in the process of being fixed.
