CLASSICO on the 'Bay  with a $8750 opening bid.

I believe that is the Flax's Classico.

Along with his SF-2 too (I believe). Discussed here.

If a club member hadn't sold me a BSX 2000 over a decade ago, this bass would be IT..... Seriously, although I didnt plug her in, this bass has serious mojo.....

I'll bet.  It is quite a beauty.

I wish i could play double bass.....

Jazzyvee   YOU CAN DO IT !
  You can !  just get one and do It. Ideally it would be good to get some starter lessons from a classically trained player.Pizzicato playing will come easy to you but Arco technique (bowing) will require patience and perseverance on your part and lots of practice. I started using the French Arco technique (French Bow)but soon learned that the German Arco technique (German Bow) was more suited to my arm.

if you had asked i would have sent you to the basement to bring an amp up...i am recovering from from surgery for a ruptured quad tendon.

The bass player in my band fell into a stand-up bass a couple of years ago.  He had never even played fretless previously, let alone a stand-up.  He really enjoyed playing it from the beginning, even though the action was quite high - resulting in complaints of a painful left hand.  He recently had the neck fixed and the bass set up for much lower action.  He loves it and we have had a few acoustic sessions with him on stand-up and me on my Veillette Gryphon Hi-D Tenor 12 string guitar (think mandolin on steroids).  So Jazzy, if you can swing it, don't hesitate to go for it.  It would look really cool next to Dragon Magic.

That didn't go where I thought it was going.  The bass player in my band fell into a stand-up bass a couple of years ago and ruptured a quad tendon.

Hehe...that's what I was thinking too,

He works as a High School teacher.  The High School had this old stand-up that no one was using and they just gave it to him.  Generally, my band tries to avoid literally falling into stuff.

My old band fell into stuff all the time... it was the 80's.

for sale means for sale  
please no more offers for trades...

Well, we were on break at this bar/restaurant, packed for a party, no barrier between crowd and stage area, and a drunk fell into the guitar players strat and deluxe reverb.
