100+ Year Old 3/4 Upright Bass

For Sale: Vintage 3/4 Upright Bass – 100+ Years Old, Ebony Fingerboard, Fully Restored

This 100+ year old 3/4 upright bass is a true relic with soul. It has lived a long life, seen countless stages, and been lovingly repaired many, many times over the decades. Despite its weathered past, it’s just been brought back to excellent playing condition by a skilled luthier and is ready to make music again.

The bass features a beautiful, high-grade ebony fingerboard—dense, smooth, and resonant—adding both playability and tonal depth. And speaking of tone, this instrument is very loud, with an impressively full voice that cuts through a mix with ease. Whether you’re bowing in an ensemble or laying down punchy pizzicato lines, this bass delivers bold, responsive sound with character to spare.

Yes, it shows its age, and yes, it’s had a lot of work done—but every seam repair, scroll touch-up, and structural reinforcement has kept this bass alive and thriving. It’s not pristine, but it’s honest, reliable, and full of personality.

Local pickup only—this bass is too special (and too big) to ship. Come see it in person, play it, and hear what 100 years of history sounds like.
