| | | | Old German bass for sale, Grand Ole Opry played, $3000
I have a 100+ year old, solid wood, German made upright bass in great condition. For the past 9 years I have played it every weekend on the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. It is strung with Goetz gut strings, has a Shadow pickup system included, and a canvas case. I am no longer playing, so I'd love to see it in the hands of someone who will play and appreciate such a fine instrument. darylsongs@yahoo.com

"Its solid wood. I don't know the string length, honestly. Its just a standard sized bluegrass bass. I can find out for you. Yes, I can send a picture of the headstock but it will be Monday before I can."
There are pics on Craigslist. |
