Re: Shows/Musicals That Need Low C Basses...

Hmmm... so it's more likely that low Ds are to be encountered in shows than low Cs, and as a low Eb bass will get a low D easily with a cardboard tube in the bell, wouldn't a low Eb bass suffice?

Reason being is that a fellow pit player has a Q-series Selmer bass only built to low E, and there's the possibility of a low Eb Q-series coming up for sale (and this one has a floor spike).

But what with all that's going on he's not able to stretch to a Buffet Prestige low C bass which he really likes (though in time he may still invest in one).
