My sax buddy Pete Hales started a thread on the Woodwind Forum<\/a> titled, What’s Wrong with this Bass?<\/em>, in relation to a Beaugnier-made Vox bass saxophone<\/a> that’s been on eBay for nearly a  month. Based on the pics and description, it’s hard to see anything much wrong with this beastie…<\/p>\n

The photos show a bass that does not appear to be beaten up, and in much better condition than saxophones less than half its size. (Note even the lack of dents in the bow\u2014pictures 5 & 6.) It is also in much better shape than any of the Beaugnier-made bass saxes<\/a> that I have collected images of for Bassic Sax Pix. Oh, and how many used horns\u2014modern or vintage\u2014still have their case keys?<\/p>\n
