I use both a Double Trolley and a wheel. Whilst I think the design of the Double Trolley is in the main fantastic, there are a few niggling annoyances: 1)The case tends to rub against the wheels and is consequently wearing away. 2) If you only attach the bass using bungees around the neck as shown, the bass tends to spin around its axis and become displaced/can fall off. I have to say that I think the materials and workmanship and general execution of the design is APPALLING. Whilst the use of the Double Trolley is generally fabulous, compared to hoying a bass around in other ways, within a couple of first uses of the trolley, the plastic inserts where you slot the seat into its tubes for use as a stool, had popped out and were lost forever in a dark venue, so it is now unusable as a stool. The foam covered keepers where you slide the bass into position are of a very weak bendy metal which I anticipate will break very soon, and the foam keeps coming off. These metal parts are not long enough to prevent the case rubbing against the wheels. The wheels are low quality materials and not very stable. The tires keep going flat, despite there being no puncture. The pump supplied with the trolley was just a laughable piece of plastic and couldn't even be used to inflate the tires! I rely on my trolley very heavily, but I can't anticipate it lasting much longer. I've only had it 1.5years! For the price, £350 or so, I am disgusted. I'm quite sure that the original Danish ones were properly engineered out of more substantial materials and I wish I had one of those, but the currently-produced ones, made in China are produced to such low quality standards, that I really don't think they are worth the money. I am gutted because it's such a great idea in principle. I also use a wheel. Being a short female (5'4"), I find this quite awkward as I get a lot of pressure on my shoulder-I think it would be much easier if you were taller. I have found my end-pin assembly is becoming damaged and think this is large part due to the wheel. I try not to use the wheel any more. I am going to try the Bass Buggie next. Does anyone out there have any experience of these? They look ok, and are a damn sight cheaper than the Double Trolley, though I can't find a UK supplier, so I have just ordered one from Gollihur in the US. Have seen people using golf carts -they look like a good idea....Good Luck!
