Default wilfer price

Hey Ken,

Thanks for the great information. I'm hoping to be able to take the bass home for a couple of days this weekend (it's a private sale). I tried the bass for a little while and it sounds great, it's a 7/8's so it has a big husky sound. If it all works out, I'll take some pictures and post them. One last thing, as I'm still learning, there are three wilfers (I know about Emannuel and Anton)? On another note; I'm also planning on going down to New York to try a bunch of instruments. Thanks,

Dave Watts

The point was to show me the Bass BEFORE you work it out or pay for it so you can get some better advice. I have a few Basses here as well if you get out my way. A lot of Basses in NY. Not many of them to bring home though.

Ken,

Sorry I meant I would take the bass and try it for a few days before I would buy it. I know this is a silly 'canadian' question but how far are you from New York?

About 90-100 miles depending on from which point. I get into the city in about 2 hours or less depending on traffic. With traffic, a bit more..

Very, very tempting.......I'm going to try and fit it into my trip (it would be great to see the shop). I'll let you know when I'm coming up.
