Best Bass Selection in Atlanta?

[PRUNEFACE]

Already planning on going by Atlanta Bass Gallery today -but I want some double basses!
On a trip to the Double Bass Symposium at University of Georgia (UGA) and would also like to hear if any of you guys are showing up!

Hi,

I will be at the symposium late this afternoon, can't leave work early, but two of my students will be there earlier today.

I would suggest Ronald Sachs Violins. Huthmakers will be at the symposium, so that would be the other I would recommend.

Look forward to meeting a fellow TB'er at UGA.

Atlanta Bass Gallery has moved from it's convenient downtown location near Georgia Tech to the burbs in Smyrna. Check the website for their proper address.

There isn't a shop in the greater metropolitan area that specializes in double bass. The violin family dealers here that do have double basses seem to be focused on supplying instruments to school systems so it's likely that the basses you will see have Shen labels in them.

Ronald Sachs does great repair work and he'll have the best selection of basses in the city. Emil Baran in Decatur may have a few Wilfers. Some of the other odd shops may have a bass or two.

Hey, Nestor is there too. What do you look like? Ive got my Kolstein and a french bow and my Kolstein has a mechanical extension. Tonight in the ensemble I was to Dr Masciadri's right when he was part of the circle. I was about to rage quit ahahaha
