Hello All, long time lurker, first time poster here!
I have done quite a bit or searching around the forum and on Google to no avail, perhaps you kind fellows can fill me in! I am about to take up upright bass after about 8 years on electric, my knowledge and experience of upright gear is near-zero... it's all a little daunting!
I am trying to get hold of a good quality bass, mainly for pizz / jazz. I am planning on buying a starter bass in the next few months and it looks like a choice between a few Shen basses that are available locally (SB80/SB100 - full laminate, and SB150 - carved top). I am finding it very difficult to find a typical price for these basses, is there a reliable source for retail prices for double basses in the UK? Also, is a carved top really necessary to a complete beginner like me?
Any thoughts on these basses are welcome, if you have any experience with them I'd love to hear from you!
Cheers

Hello ZMech, thanks for the response. This is the kind of info I need, it's good to be able to relate things to bass guitar. As well as a range of unfamiliar brands, it's been difficult to judge ball park figures like this. Thanks!
