Bass Dealer in Central Florida

[Rumblejohn]

Anyone know of a reputable double bass dealer in the central Florida area? The closest Shen dealer is 3 hrs of miserable traffic south of here.

Atlantic Strings on E. Colonial is the only shop I know of that even has double basses. I had to travel out of the state to find a bass.

Sound Exchange in ocala has a couple.i dont know what kind or any info but i have seen them when i have been in there...

I think I would like a good quality laminated bass, Shen, Upton, Thompson, and New Standard come to mind. I would love to try before I buy, but that is a lot of traveling.

Atlantic Strings in Melbourne has a large selection of basses. I bought one of mine there several years ago and they must have had at least 50 in stock at that time. They have a store in Orlando but not sure what they carry in the way of basses. There is also a luthier, Saul Cornell, in Altamonte Springs that might have a few for sale.
