Check the Newbie Links and do a search as this exact same question has been asked over 3000 times on this forum.
But Long story short, your chances of finding a decent upright for under $1000 are slim to none. Sorry, that's the truth,
not trying to be a jerk, but you will probably think I am anyway.

Read the newbie links. They're full of really good information. See here as well for "Doc's Laws."

Hey DRUB, weren't you numbering these for awhile?

I'm sending you a PM. There's a guy here in OH selling a Shen SB100 bass for 1050.00 and I happen to know he has the ability to ship. I haven't played it but a Shen SB100 is a good bass. You can search this forum and find plenty of comments on it.

Thanks Dave. I am that guy from Ohio with the Shen SB100. Also have it listed here for $950 (expect to be worked a little from a CL ad). In any case it is a good bass, my son has up into a hybrid SB150 and he can only play one at a time.

Shipping to FL would be easy as my In-Laws will be here in a couple of weeks and then returning to Titusville for no cost shipping if you wanted to wait few weeks and can pick up there. I have other "White Glove - Hand Delivery" options availabel which are reasonabl. Feel free to reach out if you might be interested. Thanks
