Double Bass Need informations

Hello, I have a nice second bow (appraised 2000) too nice for a second bow for tango or contemporary music where I sometimes have to smash.
My first bow is an amazing C. Bazin. I would like to remplace my second bow with a carbon bow. I don't know where to sell it on the web.
Perhaps there is other place where I could post it? Could somebody help me.
Also I need some advices over carbon bows. Are they great for Contemporary or tango music? I've heard that the hair that comes with it is usualy bad and that the bow makers hate them because they are hard to work with (rehair and frog carving).
Have a nice day
Francis
 
I have a codabow Infinity model and it has a nice, dark tone. Contrary to some carbon bows, the hair that came on it is fantastic and compliments the bow well. I imagine this is true with other carbon bows as well, but the Coda bows are made such that they take the same wood blocks and techniques that would be used for a traditional bow.
