can you get a double bass in a fiat punto?

[killermachine]

hello! does anyone know if you can fit a double bass in a fiat punto with 2 passengers and a keyboard.....? thanks

[Basschair]

Hmmm...never tried. However, I've gotten mine into my VW GTI, with stool, laptop, satchel, 2x10 cabinet, and 1x12 cabinet.

Was able to get mine in a Pontiac Sunfire along with 1x10 cab, BG, standing fan, and 2 six packs of beer...

Is this a trick question?

You can fit three basses, three bassists, and their gear into a Volvo station wagon... I think you can fit one bass in just about any car that has a back seat.

Yes you can. I used to have a Punto too. I also fitted the flight case into that car

Now that is a challenge! I couldn't get a flight case in a VW Golf without physically removing the passenger seat. You should think about offering bass loading consultation services.

Real basses? What about real players? I've seen more bad double bass players than bass guitarists in my time... and I really don't think the bass guitar is easier to play. With an attitude like that you might as well put trombones in your little car.

I just had the back seats down and got the case in through the rear door. When you're driving you have the top of your flight case next to your right cheek, but it's not much bothering...

I used to fit a 3/4 into a Panda so I guess it's doable.

It may be possible ..
I once had my bass when i played in a caravan , we had to open a little window at the roof for the head , but it worked.
Ill guess you have to try it , just be careful.

I fit an upright bass, an amp, a trumpet and 2 passengers in a 1970 Subaru 360. I we were all comfortable but the car didn't go very fast uphill. The car only had 36HP and weighed 950LBS 4.5 feet wide 9 feet long. It was like a circus when we all piled out, and then the amp, and the upright.

How do you get four double basses into a mini?
Two in the front and two in the back.
Old 1960's joke.

Whew! Threads like this make me not worry so much about buying a DB next month and fitting it into my '97 Honda Civic 2 door coupe. I can fit my 4x10", 1x15", BG, Palatino EUB, and two cases in my Civic, but with the passenger seat removed. My girlfriend doesn't mind.... too much.

I used to do jazz festivals in the North Island of New Zealand and would take my wife, two kids, amp, double bass and family luggage. These days my kids are grown up and both aren't really into jazz. I wonder why?
