I will be posting pics tomorrow. The bass sounds great. It was setup by a guy in Columbia, SC. I can't remember his name but, he is a WIZARD on fingerboards. This is a 3/4 bass, Corelli strings (not sure of the gauge probably light) ebony fingerboard, built in late 1800's or likely or early 1900's, my favorite part about the sound is that it is very even across the bass.
It has had some funky repairs. Some of the glue used was not the right stuff. Mark Sonksen in Chicago, IL said he restore it for $2000 or so. The guy at the Bass Shop said it could be considerably more but, would be worth around $10,000 fully restored. I am looking for $3800 FIRM or a NS Design 6 string EUB and a some cash or I might consider a 5 string Omni bass (FKA Cello bass). I haven't played one but they are intriguing. |
