MikanHannille

Thanks for the replies. I live in Worcester, West Midlands. Anybody can recommend a good tutor around here? Or even around Birmingham would do. Thanks again!

Hi guys and gals. I'm in need of some advice. I'm taking an interest into playing double bass recently. Never played or owned one before. I'm looking into buying an entry level one but I'm hesitating that if I don't get on with it that I may have trouble moving the instrument and it well end up taking space around the house. Any advice on what to buy or consider? Thanks!

Straight forward deal. Thanks Matt!

I'll have to cross my name out as I'm down as on call for that week end. Sorry guys. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]1.

Here's the Hot Rod 5 I picked up yesterday from thack. [URL=http://s37.photobucket.com/user/hessler312/media/DSC00599-2_zpsoekpojq3.jpg.html][IMG]http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e84/hessler312/DSC00599-2_zpsoekpojq3.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

I had one before. It's a beautiful bass. If only it wasn't that heavy it would be still with me now. Congrats!
