thisnameistaken Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Tip: One does look nice in the corner but two results in clutter. Nice clutter, but still... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Lord Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I considered that and actually rented one from my local music shop for a month just before Christmas. See my thread and some advice here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/160646-dipping-my-toe-in-the-upright-bass-pond/page__st__20__p__1476315__hl__dipping__fromsearch__1#entry1476315"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/160646-dipping-my-toe-in-the-upright-bass-pond/page__st__20__p__1476315__hl__dipping__fromsearch__1#entry1476315[/url] My conclusions were: [list] [*]It would be cool in theory to play a couple of songs in a set with one [*]It would be cool in my living room (I have a big living room with an appropriately empty corner) [*]It was difficult to transport [*]It was hard to play and hard to get any volume out of it [*]If I ever get one, I'll have to spend upwards of £2K to get a worthwhile one - plus same again nearly for amplification ( AER is the only way to go) [/list] I left it alone for the moment.

Silvia Bluejay Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) Ooooooooo handbags at dawn I want a DB too, but I need to move to a bigger place first, which means a DB would end up costing me around £500,000*, give or take a few thousand... Edit: London W4 price of a not-too-upmarket, reasonably large flat. Edited June 20, 2012 by bluejay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
