saxobass Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Hi all. Rheumatoid Arthritis makes weight a problem for me. Plywood instruments can be very good indeed (witness the Samuel Shen models available in America). Does anyone know if such an instrument, (light and ready to be well set-up) is available here?

TheRev Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 The String Emporium plywood basses (RM-100) have a good rep over on TB and are generally considered superior to the Shen basses. They website says they'll ship basses to you - you could give them an email and check they'll ship to this side of the pond? Closer to home, the Thomann Kontrabass 22 is very nice (although it's a hybrid). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
