Two small basses for sale

Post by ttf_hyperbolica »

I've got 3 basses, and only need one. I'm keeping my Kanstul, so these two have to go. I've grown to like both of them, having performed on both. Nice horns for the right purpose.

1930's Conn 70h with tuning in slide, 547/562 dual bore slide, lacquer removed, and an Eb slide with D pull (to replace the F attachment tuning slide, original F slide included) gives it full chromatic access with a single trigger. Who would want this horn? Someone obsessed with playing a light bass, someone who loves the old Conn sound. It was recently in the shop, and is in good playing order. Comes with a hard case $1500   I've used this one for simple orchestral stuff. The Eb slide is a great accessory. Zero modification to the existing horn, but allows you to get all the notes between low E and pedal Bb.

Olds P-24g (1970s) in really nice shape. Comes with an adjustable, removable Curtis thumb rest. Great slide, good valves. Red brass bell, and the rest of the horn is nickel silver. Really good horn where you need a brighter sound, like big band. Tenor doublers will also like this, because if you put a smaller mouthpiece in it (4g-5g), it plays like a tenor. 9" bell, .562 bore. No serious dents, 99.9% lacquer intact. Popsicle stick rubber banded to 2nd valve lever to accommodate my short fingers. Valve tuning Bb/F/Gb/D, but can be reconfigured (by swapping tuning slides) to Bb/F/G/Eb. Lots of things about this horn make me want to keep it, so send money before I change my mind again. Comes with a case. $1500   I've played this one with a local big band and with our tbone quartet.
