Hey there y'all.
Just to let you know, I'm still hangin' around Berkshire County in Western Massachusetts with a beautiful 5 string that desperately needs a home.
It was on hold for a year by the bassist for the Broadway Show "Chicago" until he ultimately realized that he couldn't come up with the money. I had a bite or two recently, but no takers. These are the specs:
3/4 inch 5 string
Built in 1953 by Benedikt Lang of Germany
40 inch scale
Big sound!!
It does have a loose seam that buzzes, but that's an easy fix. Its so small that I can't see it, but I can stop it by pressing on the treble side of the upper bout.
These are the numbers:
I purchased this bass 5 years ago for 13000 on commission from David Gage in Manhattan. It was appraised after the purchase by David Gage for 16000.
I'm asking the ridiculously low price of 12000. I want this thing to move.
I'm throwing in a bunch of things to try and help move it.
Mooradian case
Marco Raposo german bow (purchased for 800 dollars at David Gage)
Realist pickup (already installed)
Weatherly leather quiver
Bass wheel
