munkeh Posted January 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 probably want to spend a few hundred for a second hand bass, and understanding that you gets what you pays for. Have seen the Thomann basses, but thanks for the link anyway; the cheap ones are chinese built laminates, but not heard much about how they play or feel, so that's useful (negative!) feedback about your mateIf I cannot find a 2nd hand one, then it may be a new one from Stentor, but i'll keep on looking for a bit longer.cheersiain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatboy Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 but not heard much about how they play or feel, so that's useful (negative!) feedback about your mate'sits the only double bass i have attempted to play, so i was comparing how it was a bastard to play based upon playing electrics.I'm sure thomann offer a 30 day no questions asked returns policy, if the goods are in resale condition if you don't like it you can send it back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munkeh Posted January 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 it's totally different feeling from electric basses; it feels totally alien. Which makes it very hard to judge how good/bad a double bass is -- you don't have the frame of reference.oh, and i did look in cash converters -- no double bass, but they did have one a few months back. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
