    Double Bass Any Experience with Enthral or Aileen hardshell cases?

    I may consider buying one. The Enthral case appears to be the Aileen music cases. Aileen music says they are fiberglass. I don't know how robust they are which is what I was hoping someone would jump in comment on. I can only find reviews on the the Aileen violin carbon cases and other small...

    Double Bass Any Experience with Enthral or Aileen hardshell cases?

    Does anyone have experience with Enthral hardshell bass cases or the Aileen music hardshell cases? If so, what is your impression on durability, protection for the bass and overall quality? They appear to be made out of carbon polymer and polymer so I would expect that they are similar to...

    SOLD Sloane Bass Tuners (set of 4)

    For sale is a set of antiqued Sloane Tuners. I would consider a trade for a Bobelock or similar 3/4" bass case. The tuners are new with oval handles and were professionally antiqued. I was in the process of installing them on a bass and opted to go a different direction. The tuner shafts...

    SOLD 2015 Luciano Golia Orchestra Model

    Luciano is a great guy and makes well built basses that are responsive and even throughout. I have played three of his basses and own one. I assume that this one is no different. In conversations with him, there is a tremendous amount of thought that is put into the design of each of his...
