I went to Bowspeed with a modest budget of £300. I tried an about 20 bows from £90 up to £300 - even I could tell the differences with my very limited bow technique - I came away with the most expensive (and best) one of course!

Go to Bowspeed in Bristol. Let them know when your coming and what your budget it and they'll get put a selection out for you to try. They have bows from £90 to £££££s so set your budget carefully!! I did this and even with zero bow experience I managed to get a nice bow that my teacher approves of. They will even let you take 3-4 home to try out for a few days. Good luck!

Any ideas what this pickup is? It came with an old battered laminate bass that has now been sold - I'll be looking to move it on if I can identify it. 🤔

I've got it and not going to use it...

Try Tom Allen in Bath, he’s good and very reasonably priced.

I’m in Bristol as well - just interested in who is your teacher? I could do with a few classical lessons too!
