Looking to buy an upright (double) bass and related bass accessories for recording and live use. Player-grade instruments and practical gear preferred.
Upright basses:
• 3/4 size preferred
• Carved, hybrid, or good plywood
• Old or newer instruments considered
• Repairs, wear, or cosmetic issues OK if structurally sound
Accessories & parts also wanted:
• Pickups (Full Circle, Realist, Underwood, etc.)
• Bridges (adjustable or blanks)
• Tailpieces, endpins (especially carbon fiber)
• Basses cases, bags, stands, stools
• Old hardware or shop parts
Condition:
• Working or serviceable projects welcome
• Tone and playability matter more than looks
This gear will be used for recording, rehearsal, and gigs, not collecting.
If you have an upright bass or bass-related gear sitting unused, send photos and details. Happy to make fair offers and talk through what you have.
