Greetings,

I have an Eberle (Musima) made in Germany bass I purchased directly from Steve Greene at Ideal in approximately 2006 when I was dabbling in double bass, but it has been sitting in a corner for far too long. It is a fully carved model, marked 12/95 near the endpin, and it has Spirocore strings. The bass is in near new condition except there is some finish checking and a center seam separation on the back which is open just enough to slide the corner of a sheet of paper into the seam for a few inches. This has been stable for the past 15 years or so and has not caused any issues. I'm located in Central Florida, and listen mostly to straight-ahead jazz, bluegrass, and classical, but I have not taken this bass out of the case in many years. I am completely out of the loop on what it's worth, so I would appreciate any thoughts as to how much to ask when I list it for sale.

Thank you so much
