BarnacleBob Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 (edited) I wouln't mind a stab at the ol double bass after years of electric but the cost is rather prohibitive and then i saw this ad on my local gumtree - [url="http://glasgow.gumtree.com/glasgow/48/42729948.html"]This[/url] but I dont know how to approach it as i know feck all about double basses - I would like a bargain but dont want to offend the guy also wouldnt know what was good or bad unless it was a total pile of crap I suppose. Contacted the guy but he just said come and see it no guide price or anything - I get the impression he knows feck all about them too. Any advice?

Major-Minor Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Hi BB Why don't you try to find somebody who knows about basses to view it with you ? Might even be worth paying somebody ! It might save you a lot of money in the long run. Plenty of bass players in Glascow. Call up the RSNO or the BBC SSO - see if they can put you in touch with one of their players.

velvetkevorkian Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Maybe worth having a word with the Violin Shop in Yorkhill- they do valuations etc, and if it is a POS they may be able to offer something more suitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
