Guys,

I wish I could recommend Sam Ash- you could call, but something tells me
they're not going to have one. Actually most of them just look at you weird
and think "why the hell do you want to RENT a Bass or an Eb??" Because they
just don't understand....I worked at the one in Tampa for years. They all
usually only rent out student model Bb's... but that's about it....

Brian,

Where exactly are you? There is a Sam Ash down in New Haven, CT (as well as
more in NYC, etc). You could also contact repair technicians, such as Albert
Alphin, as they might have instruments or leads.
