carved bass

Kolstein Fendt Model C. 2012 Romanian Origin. 3/4 size (flatback). To my knowledge, it's one of the only basses in the US that has "boomerang" bracing, which opens up the sound and prevents the back from cracking. I love this bass and have probably played hundreds of jazz and classical gigs with...

As only the second person to have owned this 90-year-old marvel, I have reluctantly decided it's time to pass it along. This a rare chance for someone to own a 'living' piece of music history. With your permission, a little background: The original owner was the bass (and tuba) legend, George...

Likely German or Czech (based on the purfling pattern on the back), this beautiful bass is over 100 years old and still going strong. An excellent instrument for any genre of music, this bass features a blooming low end, defined midrange and a singing solo voice. Generous thumb position access...

Exceptionally appealing 3/4 German bass, restored by Los Angeles Bass Works. Beautiful finish; spruce top, maple back and sides; violin corners. Healthy in all aspects. No 'issues' lurking; seams are tight, neck is straight. This was for years the 'jazz bass' played by the late Dave Stone...

A wonderful 3/4 unlabeled (likely Chinese) bass. Closer to 7/8 in scale—but with smaller, sloped shoulders and a gamba shape (full measurements below). A quick and responsive instrument with excellent presence and a somewhat tapered low end, it fills a great spot in the mix. Due to the smaller...

A great deal on a fully carved post-WWII German upright flatback bass! In another life, this was a middle school band bass. This bass has definitely been used well, as it has checking all over, carved name of the school it was used in near the endpin, and some great mojo. Has had a heel repair...

I have had this beautiful instrument for over 6 years. Unfortunately, it has been sitting around lately and not getting enough use. I hate to part with it, but I don't want to see it sitting around. The bass is in fantastic condition and sounds beautiful with stunning projection. It comes...
