Re: Selmer Series 9 and Privilege bass comparison.

Thanks all for your thoughts and experience.....

Its occurred to me that the real comparison and what I decide comes down to whether the Series 9 bass is a significant enough improvement over my '41 Conn.

I suspect it will be but its not a given....the Conn was probably one of the better horns in its day and stands up pretty well considering its age and design, but I've gotten to a place in my playing where some of its shortcomings (not just mine!) are becoming obvious.

It looks like I'll get a chance to play the Series 9 for a week or so on approval.....so that will answer a lot of my questions if I go through with it.

The Privilege model 65 might still be on the horizon and might likely be the end all......but I'm on a fixed income so finding some satisfaction a step at at time might work out.
