1918 Czech Solid bass Yosef Homolka

Marked Yosef Homolka Prague, although I have looked through many research books I cannot track this maker down (any info would be greatly appreciated richard@thebassshop.com) having said that this bass is one of the best Czechs I have had for some time its a beautiful chestnut brown oil finish. its small size 3/4 and is light weight, ideal for travelling weights. this bass has a rich dark sound balanced across its frequency range

The Bass Shop did the partial restoration on this bass 9 years ago now and still holding strong, I have thoroughly checked all the cracks and other repairs.

This bass is setup for classical with Aubert French adjustable bridge, Helicore Orchestral strings, and bag.

Hungarian Gasparo Da Salo copy c2015

This beautiful Da Salo copy recently came in to the shop for sale, made in 2015 the bass is an extremely good representation of the masters work. The finish is an even deep red brown with some aging techniques added to give a period appropriate look. Unlike allot of relic finishes on today’s basses this is applied subtlety and thoughtfully.

The sides and back have good medium flaming with the double purfling line accurately placed on the top and back plates. the top has a very even arcing with high grade spruce top.   The bass would be ideally suited to a intermediate to professional Arco player looking for a rich dark sound.

The finest bass produced in the workshops of Vasile Gliga in Romania. An instrument tailored for the professional player.

This one of a kind Gliga Vasile Maestro bass represents the pinnacle of Gliga instrument building and as such carries the name of the master luthier Vasile Gliga, founder of the Gliga workshops. Exceptionally beautiful tonewoods have been sourced and selected specially for the construction of this fine instrument. The highest quality Carpathian spruce is matched with beautifully figured maple back and sides and finished in the finest European oil varnish. German Rubner ebony pin machines are fitted into the scroll which has been carefully carved from highly flamed maple.
