SOLD German Upright Bass c.1910- LOWER PRICE

Selling this extraordinary German bass c. 1910. Big woody sound, punchy, and very loud. It's also extremely easy to play and lightweight to carry. New carbon fiber endpin, new fingerboard, new bridge. Work done by Lisa Gass or Jason Brown. Selling with a nice Moradian case and an almost new David Gage Lifeline Realist pickup.

Like most basses of this age, it has it's fair share of dings, cracks, etc. All have been expertly repaired, and the bass is in good health.

This bass sounds great with any style of music. Also sounds great with a bow or with a pickup.

The video link below is from the soundcheck when I lent the bass to Thomas Morgan when he played at the Blue Whale.

Hi Billy.
I think we share some friends in real life. I am away this week back on Sunday. Someone is coming to look at the bass on Tuesday. He is driving in from Reno. You are welcome to come by and see it anytime after Tuesday. I’m in Pacific Palisades. Let me know what works for you.
