...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.

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).

Recently bought a great p bass off Si. Here's an absolute gent who really knows his basses & sells them at realistic prices. Cheers Si

That's right, should be a fun couple of weeks. I love Glasgow.

Not keen on shipping but as luck would have it, I'll actually be in Glasgow 1st - 14th Dec if you can hold on till then.

Bump, will be in Nottingham Thurs & Fri this week if anyone's interested up there.

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.

Hi Owen,

I'll take the superflex it's still available!

Hello ChrKelly,

What's the string spacing?

It's 19mm at the bridge.
