We would like to know the brand, if it has a bow, the general condition and if has any visible damage and your asking price.  You can call us at 773-878-8616 and ask the shop for Ben or send an email to ben@doublebassbuyer.com .   Please note we are only interested in American made laminate (plywood) basses and we can only buy local basses.

2) If we're interested we will generally ask you for a little history on how you acquired the bass, if you've changed anything or if you've had the bass repaired. We will also ask you to send (preferably by email) a couple of photos as well.  Please take photos of:

            A) The front of the bass
            B) The back of the bass
            C) The neck
            D) The serial Number if available

3) If we agree on a price you will be required to bring it by our Chicago store however please call first to make sure I am going to be in when you expect to arrive.
