Double Bass - Smart Car

[Bilbo]

Yes it fits. Proceed with caution, however. If you get the angle wrong, you will crack the windscreen. I did it yesterday. Fortunately, the MOT is due next month and an existing chip plus other scratches meant that a new windscreen was on the cards anyway but, for those pondering the great mystery, you CAN get a 3/4 double bass in a Smart if you are careful.

Ironically, I didn't NEED to do it as I have a bigger car. I just wanted to try.

A sunroof is always a handy feature for most musicians with larger instruments and small cars

Just for clarity - can you confirm which way round? The bass in the car, or the car in the bass?

I think our man kodiakblair may have an opinion here

I know someone who could get a D/B, a Sousaphone and amp in his Smart Car.
