Not a bass, but I just got a fantastically good price on an alto flute, less than half the least expensive prices in catalog. It comes from knowing the local music store owner, who had the flute for a while without sale, and he wanted to clear it out of the shop. I bought my regular flute with the b foot from him, so he knew I was a serious flute player, so offered me the price...and I grabbed it immediately.
