herbass Posted April 29, 2016 Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) Hello everybody, I took my bass to my luthier the other day and he admired my bow quiver my wife made me so much, he ordered one for himself! Upon recieving his a few days later he said: "There's a market for this you know!" Well I didn't think of that before but shortly after, a friend of mine ordered two and she wanted colorful "funky" ones! They came out so nice, I thought I'd post them here to see if any of you would be interested in using one of these! In my opinion these are superior to the usual leather ones! These are made of textile -as my wife does textile design- and as such are much lighter than the leather ones, have velcro fittings instead of metal buckles, and they do not knock on your basses top. The wall has a hard lining -think hats- for holding shape and a soft cord inner lining to catch the bow without damage or much sound! The "mouth" has wire support to maintain shape of the opening. They are sturdy too! The black one on the bass in the photos is my one I've used for the last 8 or so years! Still looks the part and does the job perfectly! The default design is the one with black micro cord outer material. We do offer a limited variety of colorful patterned textiles also, photos available on request! If you have any questions or would like to own one, please get in touch! They are £25 + postage. (Please note that they are made to order and ther will be about two days wait from order to postage!) Thanks for reading!

gareth Posted April 29, 2016 Posted April 29, 2016 Are they warm and supportative enough to double as a codpiece?
herbass Posted April 29, 2016 Author Posted April 29, 2016 If you were to wear one as such, people would quite rightly sigh: "What a dick!" ...
alyctes Posted April 29, 2016 Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) I like those Would one to fit a cello bow be possible? Edited April 29, 2016 by alyctes
herbass Posted April 30, 2016 Author Posted April 30, 2016 Cheers guys! For your cello, we'd need to know how long your tailpiece is for the fittings, and also the lenght of your bow maybe!
herbass Posted May 3, 2016 Author Posted May 3, 2016 Thank you for the interest gentlemen! Two black ones are being made now!
gyrus Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 i bought the black one. i had the quiver yesterday. the velcro attaches well to my tailpiece. my german bow fits just fine. the seams were well-made. it looks sturdy. i think it will last a long time.
neilp Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Black one for me too. I've never had a bow quiver before, always been put off by the weight and bulk and poor fastening systems. This is superb, fits easily, and cuddles my new mega-money bow very nicely. 10 out of 10. Arrived very quickly too!
herbass Posted May 11, 2016 Author Posted May 11, 2016 Thank you very much for the kind reviews! We're happy for your satisfaction! I gathered from other threads about your bow, Neil! £3000! I'd like to give that one a go! Happy playing!
neilp Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Come to the DB Bash in October, and you're welcome to try it. Be warned though, that's how it started for me!
herbass Posted May 12, 2016 Author Posted May 12, 2016 I live in Edinburgh so it's unlikely I'd come, but we'll see what happens! I know what you mean though, I spent a lot on my bow as well, even if way less than you did! After playing it I had to have it!
herbass Posted May 17, 2016 Author Posted May 17, 2016 Another one has been made with an extra cord for fitting it on a stand. I'm looking forward to know how it works out!
herbass Posted July 7, 2016 Author Posted July 7, 2016 We're back from holidays, quivers are available for order!
