111BR 3/4 Double Bass : Good value first time double bass!

Like many others on here, I bought this as my first double bass. I?ve been playing electric bass for many years and always fancied one of these.

I live in the Canary Islands Spain, so it was never going to be cheap to get it posted here so it was a bit of a gamble to say the least.

When it finally arrived (postage took a lot longer than I?d thought, 1 month. That was mainly due to Spanish couriers - no surprise there then) the bass was packed very well and set on a pallet.

Once unpacked the only thing I had to do was get a local luthier to set it up properly, the action was super high and virtually unplayable. You may also want to change the strings as they are pretty high tension.

Overall though, a super looking bass for the money and its also sounds great once set up!

For playing live I also thoroughly recommend the David Gage The Realist Bass Copperhead pickup.
