Pics to come.

Purchased new three years ago, Hybrid (carved-top) Chadwick folding bass with flight case and ProTec bass cover. Currently strung with Animas (which work really well for this bass).

I purchased this bass for Indiana University, and it is university property. It has been played a handful of times and flown with twice. It is essentially in new condition (although the case obviously shows signs of the two flights). We really don't have a need for it anymore, so before the university tries to sell it through our Surplus Store I thought I'd see if anyone is interested.

A trade in kind will be easier to facilitate than a sale. We would be glad to have a good, inexpensive bass with a longer mensure than this (at least 42")--King or American Standard plywoods, for example. Or a high-quality electric upright; bass guitars; good amps/cabinets; and so forth. The value of the traded item(s) needs to be demonstrably equivalent to the value of this bass (c @$3K).

Thanks for looking, PM me with questions!

Jeremy,

I would be interested in trading for the CFB. I do have a mid 50's King Mortone at Rebecca Wetzel's (Wetzel Violins) in Evansville, IN. She is repairing a neck break and doing some upgrades, tail wire, end pin, Spirocore Weichs, and re-fitting the bridge and sound post. I'm not sure how it will turn out but I should have it back in a week or so. You may not be interested in this one due to the neck break but I have others as well as acoustic guitars, electric basses, amps, Etc.

Thanks,

Mike Eddings

OK, here's a video, apologies for the poor quality of...well, most of it. Velvet Animas on the G, D, and A, Helicore Solo E (F#) on the bottom, dots are White-Out and can be easily removed.
