Pictured here is a lovely fully carved John Juzek double bass in 5/8ths pattern with a white German label.
The ultimate subway bass! Well cared for, in good playing order, has had some revarnish work but very original. Really fun to play with great punchy tone.
Weighing in at only 17 pounds, this instrument could be the perfect solution for students, those looking for a shorter instrument, crossover electric players, and urban dwellers on the gig.

Offered here is what we believe is a post-war (50s) John Juzek Upright Bass, pre-restoration. Upton Bass has not gone through this instrument at all and we know there are some who would like to get in “ground level” on a vintage instrument which could be a pearl in the rough. The unrestored price reflects that. Could be a perfect instrument for the vintage mojo bargain hound planning restoration in the future or in stages!
[The price of this bass with the restoration would be $8,000]
Restoration would involve a new hand-carved deluxe European spruce top, finished matching and built to deceive. Also included would be a new nut, fingerboard, bridge with adjusters and carbon finder endpin.
