Thanks for the response Ken, I really appreciate it. Wow!! Didn't realise I got such a 'GOOD' bargain!! As you read in my previous post I am only just starting to get into Double Basses, and the more I read, and learn, about them the more fascinated I get.
I will take some more pictures this weekend and post them.
It sounds really good (to my untrained ear anyway) big sound and good projection.
I was advised to get a set of Pirastro Flexocor by my daughter's teacher, over here in the UK they are about £150. Are these good orchestra strings? The strings that are on at the moment, I am told, are not very good. Any idea what they are? They are light blueish at both ends, I think you can just see the color in one of the picture.
