Cool, thanks for the advice BawanaRik! I'm also intrigued by this bass: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Anyone have any experience with the "Estle Louis" bass? That's a great price and it comes fully set-up. (Awesome website, found it off this forum. TONS of information, it will take days for...

Hey guys, I am graduating from college in December (woo!) and have decided that since I'll finally have some time, I'd like to do something that I've always wanted to do: learn DB. I was looking for some advice on possible instruments. I'm really just wanting to learn for fun, and don't have...

Wow, that's awesome! Thanks so much guys, that steers me toward DB over EUB for sure. (For the moment, I'll probably end up with both at some point :) )

I did not know that you could mute a DB, how and what does it sound like? Anyone know of places I could look around for a bass in the south? I was thinking either Atlanta or Nashville, I don't know of anything in Birmingham.

I've decided I'm going to buy one as a graduation present to myself when I finish college in December. I know that they aren't the same as...

I'm willing to put in some more money in the name of quality, I don't want something that's junk. The bad arco sound gets me a little bit too. Have you heard anything about NS Design? I've seen a bunch of people posting about them as well. The ones I've looked at of theirs don't have the large...

Cool, I appreciate the input. It's disappointing their arco sound isn't up to par, I had heard they weren't made incredibly well. Do you know of any other brands I could be on the lookout for on ebay/craigslist/classifieds?

Hey guys, looking for a little EUB feedback. I've always wanted to learn upright bass, so I'm finally taking some initiative and doing it. I'd like a little input on a decent starter instrument. Sadly an accoustic isn't an option as I have a small apartment, and I'd like to spend less than...
