I'm looking to sell a plywood bass I inherited from my parents. The bass is labeled 'C. Meisel - Made in West Germany' and the serial number is 6592. I'm guessing it was made in the '50's sometime. My mom was the bass player in the family, and since her death in 1971 it has been played very little, if at all. It will need strings etc. at this point. It has some superficial dings and scratches, but no other damage that I can see. I'm assuming it's a 3/4 (41.5" string length). I've been told by folks on this forum that it's a very nice looking bass. Comes with stand, bow (H. L. Carnes - made in Germany), and extra (maybe original) bridge. Will do my best to answer any questions. Asking $1600.

I'd have to play it first and have no intentions of coming to IL. It's NICE in Florida! It's a beauty and probably solid as a rock. I bought a German bass from Ideal Music and love it. I might own two if I lived up by you, though!
I'm willing to ship, but.....as I explained to another interested person, I will have to give precedence to anyone who can pick it up. Thanks--

I can arrange pick up from a relative that lives in Des Plaines. Please call me to discuss more about the bass. Thanks! Brian 714 335 5959 or email me at [email protected]

Now I've gotten attached to this thing & wish I didn't have to sell it--it should go to someone who can use it, though. It's one of the few things left that belonged to my mother.
