This instrument shows signs of regular professional use. Cosmetic wear includes a repaired back seam and a visible crack below the bass-side f-hole (stable and addressed as part of recent maintenance).

Tonally, the instrument is exceptionally balanced, with a notably warm and rounded sound\u2014significantly fuller than typical examples of this pattern.<\/p>\n

This Anton Schuster double bass, built in West Germany between the mid-1950s and early 1960s, represents the classic Wilfer Music Co. shop pattern often seen under various trade names, including Juzek. The instrument features the same mold and structural profile as other Wilfer\/Juzek workshop basses, with a warm, projecting voice and proven reliability in performance settings.<\/p>\n
A solid example of a mid-century German workshop bass, this Anton Schuster offers a robust tonal profile, excellent playability, and enduring structural integrity. Ideal for advanced students, working professionals, or anyone seeking the power and warmth characteristic of a well-made Wilfer-pattern double bass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":174670,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[850],"product_tag":[495,1043,377],"class_list":{"0":"post-174669","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-sold-and-customer-basses","7":"product_tag-john-juzekjuzek","8":"product_tag-schuster","9":"product_tag-used-double-bassvintage-double-bass","11":"first","12":"instock","13":"sale","14":"taxable","15":"shipping-taxable","16":"purchasable","17":"product-type-simple"},"bundled_by":[],"bundle_stock_status":"instock","bundle_stock_quantity":null,"bundle_virtual":false,"bundle_layout":"","bundle_add_to_cart_form_location":"","bundle_editable_in_cart":false,"bundle_sold_individually_context":"","bundle_item_grouping":"","bundle_min_size":"","bundle_max_size":"","bundle_price":[],"bundled_items":[],"bundle_sell_ids":[],"yoast_head":"\n
