Re: Legend Low C Bass (and other Selmer/Buffet alternatives)

Well, Buffet, Selmer and S&S are all quite distinct, and although the Uebel keywork is modeled on Buffet, I'm told that the bore isn't--haven't played one and don't know about that. The real shortage is in affordable but really good low C basses. I played briefly on the S&S German bore base, and sure it counts. Best Boehm bass I've ever played on, but at 24 K Euros, one would expect that. You do need a German mouthpiece for it, though, which in my opinion is a plus, not a minus. There's probably not enough of a market, but it would be nice if someone like L&K or Dietz would work up a more affordable German bore bass.
