Second Hand Circa 1860's Solid Wood double bass

7/8 size (Nudging on 4/4 - it's a big bass)
English Manufacture (Tildy?)
Large bass
Hand carved
Violin shape
New Thomastik Spirocore Med string set
106cm String Length
Eflat Neck
Ebony fingerboard and tailpiece
Shadow pickup installed

Wonderful old instrument owned by well known Kiwi Bassist. Set up for jazz with fairly low action
Hugely powerful sound 
Heaps of character here
would suit both jazz and orchestral player
Like all instruments of this age the instrument has had some repairs done. Bass is in sound condition and very playable

needs a small amount of work on fingerboard to rectify buzz but that can be negotiated
this is a "chance of a lifetime investment"  instrument it is rare to get one of this quality pop up in NZ
