    Double Bass Facts/Info about this German bass?

    Hello! I am gonna buy this beautiful, all-solid bass this week. It's got a well-reinforced flat back. The bass is completely flawless and didn't have a single crack or even repaired crack! The owner wants only 17000 swedish crowns (about 2000 dollars) for it. The owner said that the bass is...
