Upright bass resources in greater Chicago area, entry level upright bassist Looking for a recommendation for a reliable, affordable luthier I can rent or buy from in Chicago. Im new to double bass (although I've been a bass guitarist for about 8 years) and right now I'm making do with an absolute beater I bought at a shop in upper Michigan for $750.
I would like to sell or trade in my current bass for something a little more investment-worthy, but still entry level. It seems like buying an old Kay or Engelhardt would be a good move. Again, looking for suggestions for where I can pick something up in person in the Chicago area.
