I'm currently using the Glasser carbon fibre bow, and while it was an improvement over the cheap brazilwood bow that came with my bass, I can't say that I'm totally happy with it.
The only real comparisons I can make are to my teachers 3k pernambuco bow-which I can say practically plays itself. I don't know the maker, other than it's Italian and she picked it up while travelilng in Italy. The other comparison I can make is to the URB bob bow that my section mate plays as a back-up. The Glasser is better balanced than the URB bow, and is longer as well.
That being said, I am looking for a replacement bow. If I can afford it, I am going to go for a natural bow this time.
