Old Czech laminated flat back bass, plays very well. Lot of work has been done to this instrument during the years, recent setup (new cedar sound post was installed). Nice ebony fingerboard, 41-3/4 scale, there's an old neck repair. It has obviously been refinished at some point, unique look...

Hey fellow TBers, Really nice Romanian bass that has served me well for the past few years but its time for a personal upgrade. Bought it from lemur music in about 2014, it has a really great focussed jazz sound and the flatback helps it project nicely, though has churned out some nice solo...

This bass is a stunner. The varnish has a subtle red layer underneath. It may even be French. I think this bass was originally a larger scale and converted as you can see from the pegbox. Scale length is 41", lower bout 26", upper bout 19.5". I live in the Kansas City area.

Here's another old bass brought back from the dead. I'm guessing 1920's German. It has a new neck and high quality fingerboard. Top off restoration and it sounds pretty good. It has a fancy purling badge at the top of the back if that helps identify it. Has a 41" scale length, lower bout 25.5"...

This bass generates a HUGE SOUND with low/playable action. Great option for bassists with a lot of facility that want to get around the fingerboard without sacrificing sound/tone. Amazing jazz bass and has been used as such for 17+ years. Depending on string type, gets a fantastic arco sound as...

SOLD This is a great sounding Czech or Bohemian bass from mid to late 1800's for sale. This bass projects well and has a lot of volume and sustain. It has a big sound plucked or bowed. The upper register really sings and the bass is clear and even from the top to the bottom. It is really easy...

Hey guys, I am looking at getting rid of my acoustic bass (built somewhere between 1850-1865). Its an amazing instrument but I can't play it anymore... developed tendonosis and haven't been able to play it in over 2 years, and as much as I love it and want to pass it on to my girls, I need to...

Hi, Due to an impending cross-country move, I'm selling my double bass. I also cut into my middle finger on my left hand a couple months ago and still have some nerve damage,so I'm wondering if I should just focus on the electric bass anyway. Anyway, the bass has no markings other than a...
