Members NeonVomit Posted May 16, 2005 Members Share Posted May 16, 2005 I've decided to spend my summer work/gig earnings on a double bass... so before I get to work (in June, after exams/coursework deadlines) I'm gonna want to know how much I'll be working towards. I've been hunting for upright prices on the 'net, and come across ones as expensive as $24,000 to as little as Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassman1956 Posted May 16, 2005 Members Share Posted May 16, 2005 Well, if you were in the US, I'd suggest Upright Bob, and maybe an Englehardt. Don't know what to suggest on the other side of the pond there. Maybe it would be worth emailing Bob just to see if he knows something/someone, or has any good ideas.

Members NeonVomit Posted May 16, 2005 Author Members Share Posted May 16, 2005 Says he cant ship Engelhardt out of the U.S. I emailed him, see what he says. But what should I look out for when I'm wandering around stores? What traits are there that one should be careful about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassman1956 Posted May 16, 2005 Members Share Posted May 16, 2005 You can always perform a search for some of this info. Here's a few threads I remember, they've got some good general info in them. There was also a thread about what to look for when inspecting a used one, but I just didn't find it. http://duet.harmony-central.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=829062&highlight=upright http://duet.harmony-central.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=785028&highlight=upright http://duet.harmony-central.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=814469&highlight=upright+used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
