    Thinking of going BIG? How about an Upright with a cutaway?

    The Palatino Billy Bass 3/4-size upright bass has a cutaway body design for unrestricted access to the upper mid section of the fingerboard.

    It is one the few cutaway upright basses available on the market, and the
    Billy Bass offers an unparalleled combination of quality, style, and value.

    The Billy Bass produces resonant bowed tones thanks to the spruce top,
    but maintains classic warmth and crisp tonality from the maple back,
    sides, and neck. The ebony fingerboard provides excellent durability against
    string wear. Tyrolean-style bass tuners keep the strings in tune for serious
    slapping, popping, and upper-neck playing. The double bass's adjustable
    maple bridge makes it easy change the tone from crisp rockabilly pops to
    the soft, warm jazz movements.

    Its 3/4-size is easy to handle and by far the most common upright bass
    size used by adult musicians.

    Palatino Billy Bass 3/4-Size Upright Bass Features:

    · Treble side cutaway
    · Spruce top
    · Maple back sides and neck
    · Ebony fingerboard
    · Adjustable maple bridge
    · 24:1 geared single-plate tuners
    · Black lacquer finish with white purfling

    The 3/4-size model stands approximately 43.7" high from bottom of the body
    to shoulder and approximately 71.6" tall from the bottom of the body to top
    of the scroll.

    She starts at about $1125.00.

      Oh that is soooo tempting. I remember playing (well, trying to play would be a better term) a full sized double bass in the music lab at university. I had just started playing bass guitar and had "abysmal" technique to get actual, audible sounds out of that beast. Now that was a very long time ago.

      Loving the fretless, but nothing compares to the sound of an upright bass.
