Sorry, at this time the bass is not for sale. It sounds too good to let it go, and I have only had it for a few months. Also, if I ever decide to sell it, the appraisal is so high that more than likely it won't get a 100% cash sale, but a bass + cash or some sort of a trade in, so I would have a very difficult time trying to sell it.
Ken- I really don't think the label is correct. It just doesn't seem to be old enough to be 1763, or it is just in really nice condition. I can see if I can get some pictures of the inside if that would help. I will move the bridge down at the end of april and see how that affects the sound and such and let you guys know. I am playing my recital on the 18th, so I don't want to move the bridge and have to relearn the instrument. Its bad enough I bought a new bass so close to my recital date. What is the interest for basses this large? I was almost hesitant to get it because of the size and concerns of it being so large. Is there much interest? Would someone be turned away from buying this instrument eventually because of the size? I have always been a fan of smaller basses just because they are easy to get around, and easy to take around, but fell in love with this one. My next bass will definitely be a small solo bass, but that is not something that will happen too soon

That is a beautiful bass. If I needed a bass with a huge sound, like I imagine yours has, I would be interested although I have a personal limit of 42" for string length and I'm guessing it would be too hard to get around on for me. I don't want to have to relearn the instrument at this point.
I would think if you could get the string length down to 42" with the bridge at or slightly above the nicks, it would be more marketable. But if it's a D neck now, if the bridge was in the right spot, would it become a Db or C neck? That might be a problem in terms of having to get into TP sooner than you'd like. Seems like your target market would be large orchestral bassists!

so I played in the pit orchestra for Sweeney Todd this weekend, and quite a few people came up to me after each concert and ask me if I was running through an amp. I was the only bass against the rest of the orchestra. Talk about a compliment about my instrument!
