Hi Ken

Thanks for your reply.
I would like to have an opinion about its value. Do you have any idea?
I bought it from a british bassist who was selling it as a Pre WW2 Juzek. It´s the first bass labeled as Juzek I have seen in europe, actually.
This bass has a nice punchy pizz sound and a considerable sustain. But not too much volume and it´s a litle bit stiff.
I believe that it could sound much better with a good set up. Unfortunaly that is something not possible to get here in Portugal. Neither in Spain.
There is just a few luthiers working here and they don´t know anything about the double bass. And even less about setting it up for pizz playing.
They don´t know and they don´t want to learn.
The first bass luthier who, one day, decides to come to live and work here will get rich because he will be the only one with that knowledge in the whole Iberian peninsula. And there´s a lot of bassist around here.

Thanks again
All the best
Nelson
