    ...and how would that Bryant sound on a cheap DB?

    In the right hands (not mine!)...awesome. I'd rather play a crap bass with a good bow than a good bass with a crap bow.

  2. I've never liked any Yita I've picked up, they're way too long & the balance is all off. I've got a Finale carbon though that's amazing for the money. They come in at under £300 including case from the states. I've played a Grunberger Carbow in the past too that was lovely but for the purposes of the OP, it's way too much money for a beginner bow. My advice is buy Finale & be done with it. A Yita will just annoy you & your teacher in the long run. For reference, my 'proper' bow is a 3 grand Bryant & the Finale compares favourably in all aspects other than sound (you'll never get that tone from carbon).

  3. You've already got pretty dark arco strings, my advice is get your bass to a good luthier for a soundpost adjustment & work on your technique to get a darker sound. Evahs are good strings though, my preference is for the mediums, the weichs are too soft & spongey with the bow for me.
