A surprising
number of local jazz bassists are using ½ size instruments.
Their size makes them less vulnerable at cramped gigs, and they
are considerably easier to travel with. This lovely 50 yr-old
Juzek, which is virtually repair-free, has the sound and depth
that exceeds many ¾ basses, and sports the great Wilfer
wood and workmanship that made the firm famous. With bag and
Gage Realist pickup. |

(Wilfer) Bass Master Art , ca. 1969
We are
extremely fortunate to be associated with the Juzek Family and
to offer this never-been-played bass that has been unearthed
by Rob & Adam Juzek. The Emmanuel Wilfer company which has
made all the fine Juzek basses for many years has long been considered
one of the best bass-making shops in the world. This one is simply
gorgeous with a lovely amber varnish, amazing European wood the
quality of which is simply unavailable today, and great workmanship
down to the inlaid Wilfer logo on the back. A terrific player
right now, it will only get better with use. Even the bridge
blank is nearly 50 years old. Certainly a one-of-a-kind bass. |

E.H. Roth
was an excellent German maker in the 1930s and his firm
maintained its reputation into the 70s. This is an excellent
hybrid bass with a beautiful piece of spruce in the top, and
laminated sides and back. Great sound with depth, punch and volume
that makes it difficult to believe that it isnt fully carved.
Here is a bass with the sound of a carved instrument and the
sturdiness of a laminated one. It also comes with a top-of the
line padded bag and a good pickup. |

There
arent many of these around: a great, old carved bass with
huge, amazing sound that can come only from age. This has been
fully structurally restored by Rob over a period of more than
two years and is in great playing condition. Excellent for pizz.
or arco, it is probably the best playing bass weve ever
had in the shop. |

3
/4 Bulgarian Flatback. This is a unique bass that we just finished
work on. Made in the 1970's, this instrument has beautiful workmanship
and is in excellent condition. The top and ribs are carved, but
the flat back is laminated, eliminating the inherent problems
associated with solid backs that are flat. (This was made in
a time when hybrids as we know them were not yet conceived).
The label is in Russian characters and tells us that it was made
in a town called Kazanlik. The best part is that it is a great
playing bass, currently set up for jazz with the new Velvet strings.
It's one of the most interesting and best playing basses we've
had here in a long time. $3500.
Christopher,
2004. Hybrid
(carved top, laminated sides and back) . One of the best basses
of its type made today. $2200.00
We recently
acquired a lovely 3/4 bass made in Mittenwald, Germany
in the middle part of the 1800's, and we're currently doing
extensive restoration on it. It's made of excellent wood, and
should be a fine instrument for a serious or professional classical
or jazz player. We'll keep you posted.
