Buying a double bass...

[Brian Gencarelli]

Kazama,

What kind of applications will you be using the bass for? (This could make a difference in which bass would work better...)

Are you primarily a jazzer? Going to music school?

Secondly, can you get the basses on approval and get them side by side? This would make it easier to compare. If not, do you have a teacher or mentor you can bring them to and play for them? They can help you with your decision.

You have to find the bass that speaks to you. Try a bunch, and then make the most informed decision you can.

FWIW
