Speaking of square shoulders..
So, what do you you think now? Guess which instrument is still in use today? |

To hang on the wall, i think it would be worth fixing.

well..
Then buy it!
For someone here in the N.E. USA where the Church bass is it would cost more then the averages person's 'double' bass costs to fix it. Be my guest and please give us an account of the hours spent to do the job. Materials will be minimal I'm sure. |

To hang it on the wall i'd just glue up the seams and put some secondhand strings on it. Couple of hours work max. If it didn't cost already US$1562 to ship it to me in Sydney, I WOULD bid on it! |

but..
A proper restoration like what I do with my basses can easily run 10x that amount. This is not an investment grade instrument. I have even passed up on several Yankee Double Basses, not Church Basses by Prescott and other makers that were just not worth the work for what the instrument was or wasn't. Hopefully someone will have fun with it.
