1/4 and 1/2 Size Upright Bass packages
We now offer fantastic 1/4 and 1/2 size upright double basses.
These basses are built in China by the same maker as our popular
Thompson 3/4 bass. (see
Cheap Upright Basses) They come with their own nice cover
and bow. Special offer on bass, bow, and cover: $1,385.
plus shipping.
These basses are worth buying. They will hold up over
time and are specially made and reinforced for the typical rigors
that any young student can submit. The basses are plywood
(laminate) tops, back and ribs and therefore resists the typical
shrinking, or expanding that a regular, carved bass would undergo.
The small 1/4 and 1/2 size basses also have good solid ebony
fingerboards, endpins and nice adjustable bridges. The covers
are nicely padded and the bows are by K. Holtz, with good,
Mongolian horse hair. We use D'Addario Prelude
strings. Shipping is extra and depending on location, can cost
between $80-150 by UPS ground. We also prefer ship by air
cargo. Oddly enough, sometimes our overnight air cargo can be
much cheaper than the ground shipping. (Please check with us
for your rate.)
