Bow Quiver Solution - Johs

[Ken Smith]

I have never had a problem with with or without bow on any bass or quiver and have not noticed a BUMP when I PUT (not throw) my 5 ounce, 140gram bow in the quiver.

In my earlier days, I had a 300 year old Italian bass (Rogeri attr.) and a Sartory bow. That bass sold a few years ago for $200k in dollars in Europe. A Sartory today is about $20-30k or so depending on condition etc. Even back then, this was top priced gear so I never thru anything ever. I place it gently even if done quickly. I played plenty of jazz then and the bow sat more than it was used in my then hand made leather quiver that was made by NY jazz bassist Chris White and was given to me as a gift.

So, good basses are no so affected by these things you have mentioned. Not to my ears.
