Abraham Prescott – early 19th Century Double Bass

Prescott bass that has been brought back to life with expert care and attention to detail. And now, it’s ready for a new home!

This Prescott is one of the most original examples we’ve ever seen—so much so that a highly respected Canadian luthier even suggested it belongs in a museum.
It’s a gig-ready instrument that can hold its own against fine Italian basses priced at $200,000–$300,000.

Price: $55,000

Serious players are invited to come try it out and experience this piece of American bass-making history firsthand.
