WheelBass £45 Chiswick, west London

[Steve Woodcock]

Here is an innovative alternative to a bass wheel, designed and hand made by double bassist Steve Berry (of Loose Tubes fame). More info here at http://www.wheelbass.co.uk/

 

The substantial 'mudguard' cradle of this has protected my bass well from doorways and other such dangers, but I have recently opted for the lighter and more compact solution of a Bass Buggie.

 

Collection only from London W4.

Hah, that's wheely good!

How does this fare on slightly rougher terrain - car parks, grassed areas in parks, etc?

Hopefully well as I’ve asked Steve if he can post it! Looks like the perfect festival solution…

I can take a hint, Lawrie ...

Haha. Last gig I did at the Malvern Festival I had to carry my double bass through half a blooming mile of gardeners who constantly hit me, my bass and each other!

 

Joking aside, I’ve seen the bass wheels but I don’t think that would be robust enough. I’ve used the wheel you put in the endpin (awful) and a trolley.

 

Its either this or I buy a collapsible truck. 
 

What have you found that works?
