A fully carved 3/4 unmarked East German bass from the mid-1960s that I purchased at Footes in London in 1974. Footes told me that it was from the Otto Rubner workshop, but I have no documentation to prove that. Gamba form, steeply sloping shoulders, attractive honey color. New fingerboard and adjustable bridge in 2003. 42-inch string length. Includes fitted B-Band D-1 pickup and sturdy new Lemur padded canvas case. Set up for 4-strings but has 5-string tuning machines. Very solid and well-cared for over the years. Currently set up for jazz, with Helicore Pizz strings, but would make a nice student orchestral bass with different strings. Very easy to play. A warm sound that compares favorably to much more expensive basses. Pictures available on request. $3,995.00

This bass is a 3/4 size and looks to be all original with the only repair being the twisted wire tailgut replaced with flexible cable. I have researched as best I can and believe it to be a late 1930s William Lewis and Sons. It has no label inside but a sticker from Selmer Paris on the back next to the endpin. It has beautiful scroll work of the purfling on the back. It is a laminated bass with good figure on the outside. It has Thomastek strings on it and medium action. It has a very loud balanced sound from treble to bass. The fretboard has no wear and the bass is in very good condition overall with no need for any repair. The neck alignment on this bass is very good with bridge sitting exactly centered between the "f" holes. Please contact me for more information and pictures.

NS Design CRT Model Electric Upright Bass. A very nice bass action is good plays very similar to a double bass. The scale of the neck is exactly the same as a double bass.The exclusive Polar pickup has 2 modes of operation, "arco" and "pizzicato", that may be blended together. When blended equally (balance control centered) the response is similar to an acoustic upright. The arco mode enhances sensitivity to the bow, and the plucked response is extraordinarily percussive. In the pizz. mode the percussive attack is reduced for a smooth sustained response. Bass and Treble EQ controls, in combination with the Polar pickup options, provide tremendous tonal range. It comes with a very nice gig back and stand and i could give you my copy of the evolving bassist by rufus reid if you want. Im kingston witch if you dont know of it, it is about half between Toronto and Ottawa. I may be willing to go lower on the price. Email me for more details
