Description
This is a well-worn German double bass, which could use some improvements but sounds and plays pretty well.
This pre-WWII Mittenwald is due for setup freshening, but is still a magnetic fully-carved upright bass approaching a century of use.
Bass currently has an “ebonized” fingerboard (Kay?) but could be a great instrument with serious vintage patina. A soulful old string bass.
