Hi All,  I have a mid 70's, I believe" Reynolds Contempora bass for sale.

Pics available upon request.

Not sure how to price it,  but REASONABLE offers considered!

Thanks!!
Eric

A pic would be great, but can you post which model of Contempora?  Single 9.5", single with E 10", or the double?  And the bell, yellow, tangerine, or red? Condition?

Not sure I have funds, but am always chasing single trigger Reynolds basses.

It's a double with the E tuning, in really good playing condition.  Slide is about a 9.5,  bell lock screw, but no slide lock,  strange enough!
10" Rose bell.

What's the first 3 digits of the s/n? Or go to Contempora Corner and tell us.. The year will tell alot about it. Tangerine bell or red brass, Standard or the
More open valve bore ...
Thanks,John

Looks like a Rose brass but quite possibly the "Tangerine" color,  I can measure the bore in the AM.

From the Contempora Corner,  it looks like the TO-01.

The SN dates it to 1967-68; The Stereophonic Model
10"  Brass Alloy Bell   AKA "Tangerine"
565 bore
Standard valves

1971 -79 the bells changed to  Red Brass
and the valve bore was .585

Nice Looking Reynolds  Contempora Bass

Great horn! 

I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a Reynolds Contempora Stereophonic Bass Bone Today!   Beautiful horn.

Hello Eric, I'm interested in this but cannot fund it for about a month or so.
I have one I really like, since new, but the bell receiver is about worn out.
Can you work on these? I'd like to buy this plus get mine fixed.

Regards, JP, BTW, I'm now in the Jacksonville, FL area for now.
