Budget minded upright bass player here. I am looking at replacing my upright bass. I already have a Dean Pace bass, while it does fit my budget and space requirements, nothing can compare to a good solid upright. Any suggestions such as those CCB (cheap chinese bass) or other possible resoucres (rent to own options)?

I played a CCB, a Cremona #2, last night at a jam and it was plenty loud for jamming acoustically. The action was okay and the finish was okay. These can generally be had on Ebay, with shipping, at well under $1000. Someone who is an experienced bass player could probably find fault with its tone, though upright basses are pretty similar when they are plucked.

| mahalo for the information guys. yes, if money was no object, i would invest in a higher quality upright, sheesh a Kay would be the one i'd go for. but in checking the other boards (e.g. talkbass, rockabilly bass) the jury is mixed on them. i am reassured by your input jesse and fran. guess i have a better idea where my tax returns and/or economic stimulus act of 2008 checks may be going! |

Better than making war! Try Harryʻs music in Kaimuki.
