Details

Selling my German Bass. 41 5/8" string length. Fully carved, round back, gamba corners. Fishman full circle pickup with adjustable bridge height, restored and set up by Arnold Schnitzer. Arnold installed a new fingerboard, sound post and bridge. The Chromatic C extension was done by Mike Griffin in Rochester a few years ago. I just had the extension completely reworked at Arnold's shop and it plays and sounds great. This bass has a punchy sound but also gets a nice rumble - Especially on the lower strings. Comes with a Bobelock cover, also in great condition. I've owned it since its restoration (2009 I think) and it has been a great workhorse. $8,500

Yeah, I just got it back from the shop!


I'm in PA, would love to take a look but the holidays are making a mess of my schedule. I'll watch post and contact you after the 1st of the year. I've never responded on the forum before so not sure how to give you email address or use other messaging besides posting on forum.
