*This thread is closed. This instrument has been sent to the Bass Cellar for sale*

I'm selling my Albert Jakstadt double bass of which I'm the original owner.

It's #10 made in 1993.
7/8 size
41 3/4" string length
Gamba corners
The color is reddish-brown
Original low-c extension
Raised saddle added, adjustable bridge replaced, fingerboard dressed by Robertsons (maybe in 1999)
KC Strings wooden button and endpin added in 2008 (have original Gotz endpin if you want to switch it back)

It has a big, dark, smooth, resonant sound, is very easy to play and is in good condition.

This instrument is a proven audition winner and has been played professionally in the Colorado Symphony Orchestra for 8 of the past 9 years.

My asking price is $17,000, which will be good through the end of the summer. After that, it will be sent to a dealer and the price will most likely go up.

The price also includes a 2 month old Mooradian case.

Pictures can be sent upon request.

Thought I would add a couple of pictures.

Since I first posted this ad Jakstadt has raised the price of his basses to $19,500 which I assume doesn't include an extention and/or new case. This comes with both. The price will be $17,000 until the beginning of Sept.

I've spent a good deal of time fine-tuning the setup. IMHO, this bass is ready to play at any level.
