Bassist_In_Bath Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Hi folks, Electric bass player looking to shift to double bass, been a long time since I played upright. Don't really know the ropes inthe south west music shop wise (I'm a Scot), but I know some places will rent out Double Basses for a few months. Anyone know anywhere in the South West? Best, I.

ubassman Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Try ringing up your local school and see who services their music lessons - quite often they will be subcontracted out to companies that provide all instruments ( rentals ) to students as well as teachers. There are plenty of places to hire DB and they dont need to be local - you may have to travel off patch to pick one up or alternatively pay for a courier but still, a pretty cost effective way of getting your hands on a DB ! GOod luck with it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexpea Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 There are 2 shops I know of in Bristol: Bristol Violin Shop - 0117 9259990 Cremona House - 0117 9264617 I don't know that they themselves hire out instruments but I'm sure they can tell you someone who can help...
