iainCameron Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 hullo all new to this forum; joined to soak up some background info before buying an upright DB (making the switch from electric). Been some good advice here - thanks. Common to all first-time buyers, i'm in limbo waiting till a cheap enough DB appears locally -- based in Aberdeen, not many uprights around to play about on and test :-( Have tried a blonde Stentor in edinburgh -- nothing special -- and an old Boosey & Hawkes in a school here -- much more like it, even I could get some sounds out of it. As always, best to play before I pay - and some of the advice here has helped stop me from buying over the internet. the search continues... Quote
BassBus Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 I see it's a while since you posted but it's worth a go. If you have been as far as Edinburgh why not take a trip to Glasgow and visit the Violin Shop. They have the best selection of DBs in Scotland, usually 10-15 in stock. Prices from a few hundred to thousands. I'm not on commission, I just bought a Stentor from them a few years ago and it's been a great bass.
