Product Description

I am selling a ¾ scale Bass by "Mathias Thoma". This bass was made in West Germany in 1976, It is NOT the low quality Thoma basses made in Romania or China. The bass was purchased from Kolstein Music located in Baldwin NY. The bass has a spruce top with maple back and sides along with an ebony fretboard. The bridge was manufactured by Kolstein & has ebony height adjusters. The strings are Tomastik solo strings, yellow wrap. It has an Underwood piezo pickup mounted in the bridge slots (). It also comes with a wood bow, but I have no idea who made it or what condition the hair on the bow is in. The most recent work was done by Jeff Bollbach: (), one of the best luthiers you will ever find. Jeff does AMAZING work !!! He leveled the fretboard, replaced the nut, and reset the bridge. It was the first time the bass was set up exactly as I wanted. The bass played effortlessly and sounded fantastic as it still does. In the summer of 2015 I had the local repairman give it a good going over. All the seams looked good, all he did was re-glue the heel that the tailpiece goes over. The bass is in good condition. It comes with a case that is in not so good condition. I'm asking $4500.00 for the bass. You can see a new version of the Bass at "Fantastic Musical Instruments" of California: (). The bass normally sells for $15,600.00 and is on sale for $10,499.00. I have the original appraisal from Kolstein made on August 10, 1991 stating the value of the bass at $6000.00. I can guarantee that the bass I am selling is far superior then the one being sold on this website. The Thoma I'm selling is forty years old allowing the wood of the bass to age and have exceptional tone, balance, response and dynamic range (also the quality of the wood back then was much better). This bass is a round back which is rare in and of itself. As good a job of setting up basses as Kolstein does no one compares to Jeff Bollbach's work. I did many a Jazz gig with this bass and it sounds exceptional acoustically or through an amp. String length from nut to bridge is 41 inches. The neck is a D neck. The reason I'm selling the bass is because I no longer play upright. Thanks for looking and good luck in finding the bass you're looking for, Bob.
