Who here has heard of this bow?
It sells for only $60, marked down from $225 on Music123.com and wwbw.com, which seems too low a price to be true.

| | Even a blind man knows when the sun is shining. | | Join Date: Jul 2005 Location: Pensacola, FL | | | I bought a French style Premier a few months back (first bow - brand new to doublebass). I don't have any grounds for comparison, but I do like the feel. Since the price is barely above a pos ebay bow I threw for a German one last week, as I wanted to experiment with which technique feels more natural for me.
If an experienced player would consider it 'good for a back up' - they're as good as I need at this point. I figured it was hard to go wrong.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2002 Location: New York City | | | I got one on the recomendation of a "name (but unamed) player". I really like the projection and the balance a lot. I had a pretty good bow (1-2000$ range) to begin with and I use the premier a lot. For the price it's worth it to have a back up. I have done some "money" show biz gigs with it and I'm still liking it more by the day. Good Luck. Peace. ASG
p.s.as I think about it, a french player I know played my german and went right to the computer to order one.......

I, however, decided to go to Upton to get their $99 bow. I tried three of them and picked the lightest one.
It may be only $60, but I can't trust any bow until I actually try it out. That's why I decided to go up to Mystic, CT from NYC, three hours each way. |

The construction isn't the best-a few rough edges, but a decent sounding bow, not a huge sound but it projects nicely. I got a german one as a "road" bow instead of checking my Carbow in my luggage. I'm happy with it, but it is one the heavy side... |

The good news is wwbw has some more. The bad is that they went up $24 . Move quickly. |

Well, I saw that they existed again and my old german one had cracked from abuse and is held together with super glue, so I took some tax refund money to get a new one that I was assured by the "product specialist" that it was identical to the old one sold a few years ago.Not a chance! Beware! This is a dead stick, with different printing, winding. . . I have been putting off making that call to returns.
They put the "a*s, in assured".  |  | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
