Double Bass Thoughts on Tom Martin Double Basses?

[Calvin Marks]

Been eyeing Tom/George Martin Solo model basses for a while but I wanted to get some feedback on the industry perception of Tom's basses - quality, quality vs. price etc. Any thoughts?

I'm ideally looking for a bass with a string length between 40-41" (I currently play 41.5" and I want a bass pretty much exclusively for solo playing that doesn't sound like a pea shooter.

Cheers

You will get more action is you repost this over in the "Basses" subforum.

My perception, never having owned one, but played a couple, is that they are high quality instruments in many configurations. Other than that, you've got to try before you can know if it's right for you!

I’ve owned two Martin’s in my time. The Solo was a beautifully constructed instrument and the sound, even for a new instrument, deep and sonorous. The complete opposite to a pea shooter. Perhaps more suited to classical than jazz.

It’s always a pleasure to visit Tom and George whose after sales is second to none.
