The EM-3 is the junior size bass (1/4).

Is that what you are looking for?

At Gollihur's site, he is asking $1,009 for a new one, but you will set-up work done for that after you get it.

I guess I don't really know .. I'm just looking for something under a $1000..and I've actually seen this bass new for under a grand.. Just don't know how much they decrease in value when they are not taken care very well form the cosmetic stand point.

I guess I am asking, are you looking to buy a small 1/4 size bass?

Most adults buy the 3/4 size bass.

Check out Gollihur's website for a great expolanation on bass sizes.

Also, check out the thread in this double bass section for newbies. That should help to answer some questions for you.
