Thanks for all the opinions. We are going to be keeping an eye out for instruments in the next couple of years. It is not easy. As Bassdad said finding a high quality used double bass can be quite challenging. Plus I know my son and he will want to feel it and play it. He played the bass that one of his teacher’s students got for her graduation and fell in love with it. He said he could feel it in his bones…so that is the effect we are going to look for when shopping for a Bass. That instrument, btw, was used and cost about 8K (although was worth more…turns out the owner had to get rid of it rather quickly because he needed the money).
