Claribass,


Many Amati basses have very thin necks and suffer from "pull-down". I know exactly which bass OP is looking at and the description clearly mentions repaired pull-down on the neck, although it still looks bent from the photo so I wouldn't trust it. Also there is a large patch of wood that looks to have been repaired with some type of glue, not sure if it is a crack or chip but it looks serious. Amati instruments from more than a few years ago often had cracking problems, especially the G clarinets they made.

I'm sure Amati made good instruments at some point but I would avoid this particular instrument.
