    For Sale 1962 Morelli Upright (Final Price Drop!)

    Here's an incredible Morelli bass from 1962. Incredibly full sound but with a very clear fast front end to the note, was my main instrument and it's a hell of a bass. Big sound, easy to play, great pizz and under the bow, I just would rather someone play it more than I do at this point. Plays...

    Double Bass Richard Davis' Bass

    Anyone out there know the story behind Richard's bass with the lion's head. It looks like a pretty standard german carved bass, but not one that I've ever seen a carving on, curious about it's origin or if any of his former students had a line on what it was he played.
