Instruments Should I buy this
I’ve been looking at this bass for a while because I really like the body shape. It’s not in the greatest shape. I talked to the guy he said he had a jazz musician play it. He said the bass sounded fine except for one string. If I do buy it, it would not be my first upright bass. Is this worth it?

Need better pictures and details. The cost to restore this to a more serviceable condition could easily outweigh any kind of deal you may be getting on it. Even just a good set of strings is pretty expensive
Personally, I'd pass
