The Double Trolly

I found the site for this a while ago and I must admit that I think it's one of the coolets DB accessories that I've ever seen. I was just wondering if anyone here has one or has been able to try one and what they think.

That looks pretty cool.

I like the quote in the testimonials: "I show it to all the people I meet...both bass players and normal persons".

It looks pretty good, but two things drew my attention:

1) price €530 (~$662.5) (!!!!!)

2) (according to the web-site), production is being moved to Asia - this will bring down the price… (and perhaps the quality <- just my opinion)

There is a stool made by K & M which looks and works well - it doesn't transport the bass, but its cost is less that half of what you would pay for the Double Trolly, and is very comfortable!

FWIW -

One of the students at the Aebersold camps has one of these, and it's pretty freakin' cool. It works great as a dolly, and once you get used to the slight balancing act on the stool, it's very comfortable as well. I almost bought one before I started sitting Cello style, which this stool will not support.

Triple L Music makes one that is around $150 that looks pretty cool.

The Double Trolly is WAY overpriced.

Monte;

Thanks for the link. I've been looking for it since I saw one on ebay.

Just got an email from Double Trolly. They're trying to go through the process of getting investors and manufacturors to help mass produce the double trolly. Hopefully if this is so, they might manage to bring the price of them down substantially...
