i use bel canto strings. but mainly i was jw if i have to use an extra long e string or an actual c string? and i know =/ ive been too lazy to fill it out haha

I was wondering what string i should use for my low c extension?

How do i do that?

it is a brand new bass that our workshop (gainesville violins, www.gviolins.com) has just started selling. It is labeled Giovanni Rossi

yes but we have the benefit of being totally hand carved and crafted and over 300hours of work put into it to make it into an amazing and professional quality double bass

the wood is aged over 100 years and is very finely flamed maple. it has also been very nicely antiqued :)

from the pics what do you guys think of the bass?

this is true, i will definitely check out craigs list

yea that is true...but i dont want to advertise on craigs list or ebay cuz i dont want it to seem like a cheap crap bass...ya know?

here is a pic of the bass for those curious

the thing is that i am an apprentice for a violin maker right now so this is a brand new double bass that we just finished in our shop and we want to start selling double basses which is why we got this one we just have no idea where to start really and have no connections in the close knit...

the problem is i dont really have the money for that....=/

I am here in gainesville fl and im trying to sell a double bass but i dont know where to even start looking to get in contact with people to try to sell? any suggestions? anything? thanks, Tyler Francis

hahahahahaha mattybass that just made my day xD that was funny. im not going to a luthier, i am doing it myself. i just was looking for any sort of problems people ran into or anything so i could prepare myself

I am in the process of making an extension and i just wanted to know how others did it and if they could give any pointers or warnings?
