    Double Bass Excellent 1/2 or 1/4 sized DB?

    I just went down to Norwood to look at the Wilfer bass. It's in very good condition. It's definitely not a 3/4. It's 1/4 size bass. String length is 36". It sounded pretty good pizzing, didn't take my rosin so I couldn't try bowing. They're not sure what they want for the bass.

    my other problem, I tried a shorter 3/4 size bass, I couldn't get it off the ground very far to carry it. I'm only 5'2"

    Double Bass how do you choose which 5/8 size bass to buy

    I have been playing on a 1/2 size play wood bass for about 6 years and am ready for an upgrade to a fully carved 5/8 size bass. If I am considering getting a new one with a price range of $5000.00-$7000.00, does anyone have recommendations ?
