I'll be in NYC (G. Village) from 10 April to 25 Maj and i'm looking for a double bass to rent during my stay so i can practice in my apartment. It can be a plywood bass, only thing i ask is a good setup (easy to play) and reasonable fee for the rent. May be you TBrs have a second bass you can rent or can give me an advice where to rent.
Thank you

You can try http://www.davidgage.com/ - very nice people, they just never return phone calls, so you have to try often or just stop by their shop. Bienvenue en grande pomme
