Hiring a bass - anyone know where from ?.


Recommended Posts

I'm having my 1st lesson next week from a guy called Tyrone Bishop.

I'm in a catch 22 situation though, I don't have a bass yet, and will need something to practise on to build up my technique, I want to be able to play a bit though before actually buying an instrument.

Anyone know if it's possible to hire one, and where from.

I hired one from Footes in London. About £100 for four months, I think. The hire fee can be set against buying the instrument if you decide to keep it. It was an okay bass but took too much space in my living room so I didn't keep it... I'm now very happy with my Stagg EUB.

As Kev posted this in the Double Bass/EUB forum I don't think the 'cheap Fender copy for ebay' is a runner....

Hi

Erm, yeah I'm OK for electric basses, it's a double bass that I'm after.

Thanks for replying though. :)
