Ah! I saw "Christopher" in the title and had to check it out. I have a 3/4 Busetto with LaBella 7710 strings.

 

[ao'connor17]

BUMP! I know alot of people own christophers! Assign yourself the numbers though, once again, I check this place every once in a long while...

I'm still playing my first upright, a carved top 2001 Christopher DB303T. It's not bad at all as far as CCBs go! lol The only downsides are how the arco sound thins outs a bit as you head up the G string and how it has wolf tones on damn near every note on the fingerboard. haha. I'm ready for an upgrade, but this bass and I have come a long way together.

I'm in the process of ditching my 304T Bussetto.

I don't think Christophers are considered CCB's.

 

[PocketGroove82]

I don't think Christophers are considered CCB's.

I always wondered what the public opinion was.

 

[Steve Clark]

CCB?

 

[glenfong]

CCB?

ccb = cheap Chinese bass

 

[Steve Clark]

ccb = cheap Chinese bass

Ah, so my Willow is an ECB?

 

[glenfong]

Ah, so my Willow is an ECB?

hmm, how about ECB = Excellent Chinese bass?

all kidding aside, the Shens that I've seen are quite nice and the Christophers seem like a very good value.

btw, only recently did I find out that my Chinese bass was made (or distributed) by the Dual Joy Musical Instrument Co. in Beijing.

 

[Pacman]

My Christopher is definitely NOT a ccb. I think I might have been one of the first around here to buy one. It's a great bass, and I've done two CDs with it - including one with Gordon Goodwin.

I'm in the process of selling my DB401 Carved Flatback. The lower end Christophers(Academy, Concert, Hybrid) are very good basses for the money IMO.
