I am looking for a good, moderately priced bass amp for an upright bass for bluegrass. I am looking at a Fender Rumble 100, any other suggestions? Thanks!

Thank you, good advice!

I am a Bluegrass guitar player and have been for over 40 years, but now I want to learn how to play Bluegrass Stand up bass so I can sit in with an established band. What are the best resources to use, and most essential first things to learn when trying to accomplish this? Any and all...

So, is this a good bass, too big for a woman player, bad bass?

I am looking to buy a bass and a man has a solid spruce top, ZIMMERMAN Foundation Series double bass. I can't seem to find anything on it. Anyone have any knowledge of This model, good bass, suitable for Bluegrass?

Thank you, I get the vibe that this is not a well made bass.

csrund, By the way, if you ever happen to know of anyone in the Bloomington area that needs a guitar player and or lead and harmony singer, mention my name or message me here.

Wow, I didn't realize you were from Bloomington, Nice to meet you!! The Samuel Shen I was speaking of (The SB100) is a 2003, would that matter much?

Thank you csrund!!

Ok, thank you I appreciate your expertise and your willingness to share your opinion. We will keep looking.

Mind telling me some of the things that you see wrong in the pictures? We love the look of the bass and the fact that it is a solid carved bass. But, being new to basses (I am a guitar player) we don't know what to look for. I appreciate your advice. I have also looked at a Samuel Shen SB100...

We are looking to buy a bass made by Dave B. Latimer in 1969 and wondered if anyone has ever heard of him. This is a fully carved bass and we are wanting to purchase it for my wife to learn bluegrass on. Any information would be much appreciated! I will try to upload some pictures of it, I hope...
