Description
Gary says: The reason I like to sell these pre-restoration is so that whoever is getting this bass gets to decide the string length and whether it’s a D or an E-flat neck—really making it so that you can have a Prescott as if you walked into Prescott’s shop and had him build a bass for you.
This bass features a stunning sugar maple back and sides, paired with a medium-broad grain pine top—the kind of wood that once defined American instrument making but is no longer available today.
A truly fabulous bass, this instrument can hold its own in an orchestra section alongside instruments valued at $100,000 to $200,000. It’s remarkable to think that contemporary American makers are commanding prices in the $60,000–$80,000 range, yet here we have an original Abraham Prescott—arguably the ultimate American double bass maker—ready to be restored to its full potential.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of American musical history.
