Aaron,

I don't know if you remember me from TMEA, but I was in the Symphony section as well (I had the very old bass). I played on Anson's Solano for about 45 minutes and I couldn't put it down. I love Solanos. The problem is, I have no idea who distributes them. I will audition for the big shot music schools in about 2 years and I need a bass that will take me to a new level.

Where did you get it?

Wooooh....excellent, dude....(my Keanu Reeves impersonation for today) That bass is a chick magnet fer sure.
Seriously, that is a very nice looking bass. The finish and details appear to be first rate. Good luck from little ole me, I'm only 6'5"...and shrinking fast. :eek:

For the most part, unless someone is selling one on consignment Solano sells them himself. He is based out of Maryland, but has traveled in the past to sell an instrument. He tries to work it out when he has more than one to deliver in a general area.

FWIW

Hey man, I got it... from Solano. My teacher, Andrew Moritz, is friends with him, and he enjoys hooking up all his students with Solano basses. Here's his email if you wanna talk to him about getting one made for you: [email protected] or you could talk to Moritz, at [email protected]

That's one beautiful instrument. Enjoy, enjoy! So why a violin player on the tailpiece? Why not a bass player? You know, something like the bear pictured on Petz rosin. :)

Just kidding, of course. Play well and congrats!

Hope you have a stand for that baby.
