I have an old Czech upright 3/4 size double bass with a Strad label made in Czechoslavakia. It is a roundback with violin corners. It has the fancy purfling below the button like a Juzek. Last year I had a new high quality ebony fingerboard and a new adjustable bridge installed. Fingerboard is a...

Thanks, I like this bass. I've seen similar basses for 10-12K. I'm allowing for taking the top off and putting a soundpost patch and while it's off a new bassbar. Sal said he would do this work for $1000. May not even need to be done. Top looks healthy and bass sounds good. Jim

Luthier sprayed the label with water and peeled it back maybe 1/3 of the way when the top was off and said he saw nothing written on the bottom paper.

I'm reducing the price on my french bass to $14K. Bass was originally a three string converted to a four string. Very sloped shoulders. Label is F. Barbe, was told JTL used the F. Barbe label on some of their violins so bass might not be F. Barbe but definitely french. Flatback with the large...

Very flamed back and sides.
