Bow quiver or Arcohook?

[Gethin]

Hi

How many of you use a bow quiver on your double bass? I like the convenience of having my bow handy but am not sure about attaching something that big to my bass. I've heard reports that it can dampen vibrations. Has anyone tried Steve Berry's Arcohook, or know of anything similar?

Thanks

I use a bow quiver and have been very pleased with it. Although I've heard it said that sound can be affected, I have not noticed any problems.

BTW, it might be worth asking your question in the EUB and Double Basses section of the forum. There's lots of knowledgeable double bass folks on there who are always very helpful.
