SOLD Fully Carved 2002 Samuel Shen SB 800 Rogeri Model - Price Drop! $6,000

Selling my wonderful Shen SB 800 Rogeri Model made in 2002. This is an earlier production Shen that has been well played in, just shy of 20 years old. The SB800 is Shen's top of the line fully-carved bass and this one features highly flamed maple back/sides with a tight-grain spruce top. Beautiful dark varnish that I haven't seen on many other Shens. Ebony fingerboard and wooden bridge adjusters. In great shape and has never had any damage or repairs. I've used this bass successfully both as a student and professionally as a backup instrument. Very versatile bass that over-performs it's price point and sounds great for both classical and jazz playing. Comes with a case.

Located in Kansas City and willing to meet within a 2-3 hours drive.

Asking $6,500 OBO.

Would consider a vintage Pbass or high-end German bow in a trade/partial trade. Would also trade towards a bass in the 10-15k range plus cash on my end.

String length - 41 1/2"
Rib depth - 8 1/4"
Upper bouts - 20 1/2"
Lower bouts - 26 1/4"

 

Price drop - $6,000 OBO
