This is a 1968 Bohemian-made plywood bass I owned and played for the last 35 years. It has a beautifully seasoned character tone (see the video) I had it recently restored and refinished so no body cracks. Over the years I have upgraded and changed much on it. It plays and sounds lovely and is...

Great travel bass! This is a super-durable plywood bass, great punch and projection- 3/4 size body so you actually get acoustic sound (unlike Czech-ease, EUB's , etc) Neck folds into body (and fingerboard/endpin all latch into place inside of the bass) Bridget Kearney from Lake Street Dive...

circa 1964 Kay M1-B Upright bass. Includes Fishman Full Circle pickup. New modern end pin. inflatable transport wheel. Had a nice thick ebony fingerboard put on 15 years ago. It's still rockin'. New bridge 10 years ago. New strings & set up by David Gage in early 2023. It had seen minimal use in...

Excellent, reliable gigging bass. Comes with a realist pickup—no case. It is unusually lightweight and it looks almost brand-friggin’ new. A good deal for a 2nd/gigging bass! The back even has a little flame in the laminate. 1in overstand, 5.5in bridge height, 41.5in scale. Located in Northern...

For your consideration is a beautiful 3/4 ply. I bought this bass about 3 years back from Upton and it has been my workhorse since. While it shows some play wear, all of the vital components are in great condition and work perfectly. This bass is currently strung with Pirastro Perpetuals and...

My beloved ‘50s King Moretone took a spill. I don’t have the will to fix it up and it’s taking up space—I was quoted $750 to put Humpty Dumpty back together by local luthier (Jeff Sahs). I have all parts aside from the endpin. A great fixer or moneymaker if you’re a luthier. Local p/u only. $500

This is a great student instrument for younger/smaller players, purchased from David Gage String Instruments in 2017. It is in excellent condition, comes with a high-quality Messina Covers bass bag and an adjustable bridge, and is available in the New York Metropolitan area.

It kinda breaks my heart but I'm looking for a new home to this blonde ply beauty! Not only is she in showroom shape for a 61 year old bass, she sounds amazing! She's recently back from the beauty shop to have some laminates re-glued, new carbon fiber end-pin, and a complete set-up that...

Germany East Bass. Not a lot on the internet about these basses. I guess 60's or 70's Germany plywood student instrument. Built like a tank and really loud. 41 inch scale. E flat neck. Easy to play. I had this in my office to practice. Now that I don't have an office any more (Ccvid), I...

In beautiful condition, save for a very small ding in the finish on the backside, lower bout (pictured). Upgraded bridge and setup by Bob Beerman at the Bass Violin Shop in Greensboro, NC. The fingerboard has snappy-looking inlaid position markers along the side. Outfitted with D'addario...

*Price Reduction* Extremely Rare American Standard in very good condition. It’s a shame to let this one go but I bought too many basses last year and I need to clear space and refill my bank account! This bass sounds and plays beautifully. It has a clear, focused sound. Each note seems to...

1954 Kay upright bass in great condition. Recently set up by Zach Lane in Brooklyn. He installed a Fishman full-circle, put in a new endpin, and strung it up with Spiro mittels. Tailpiece, bridge, fingerboard, neck all original. The case I can include is not good quality, just something to get...

1963 Kay C1 with a brand new bridge and aluminum bridge adjusters. Also brand new is the 1/2” ebony fingerboard, as well as the sound post. Other than some minor chipping around the edges, the bass is in excellent shape and has a lot of life left in her! It did recently suffer the classic break...
