Bass Rental in Vegas

Largemouth Bass · #1 04-16-2009, 01:14 PM

Hi all, flying out next week (April 23 & 24) to play two shows. Was going to bring my czech-ease but unfortunately they booked the flights on United who are threatening a $175 oversize and $100 overweight fee.
It's only two inches oversize and barely overweight, but no go so far.
Wondering if anyone has a bass for rent around Vegas or knows of a decent place to get one. Coming in on Wednesday night and leaving Saturday morning. Thanks for any help.

Not real familiar with upright rentals, but give these a try:

Violin Outlet. 702 733 3028
Violinoutlet.com

Kessler Music:
Kesslermusic.com (they have several locations)

Studio Instrument Rentals. 702 382 9147

The Violin Outlet is right across the street from the local Sam Ash (702 734 0007) which also does rentals.

Good luck.

Thank you so much for the info. I was able to talk to get violin outlet to agree to rent one. The owner was really nice, said they don't usually do it but will allow it with a credit check. Now I just have to find a way to return it, early flight out of town Saturday. Thanks again.

That's weird. They have "Rentals" listed in their phone book ad.

Have fun.
