need recommendations in Double Bass bows

[Pizzicato]

Hello, currently i have 3 double bass bows targeted in mind, namely Codabow Infinity, Codabow Revelation, and Ophelia CF bass bow.

Despite knowing that Ophelia is famous in value-for-money, but if Codabow's a better investment and worth to top-up, sure i would!

So please any double bassist out there, please help me out! Thank you!

Looking for carbon fibre bows only? Opelia and Christopher bows, you can purchase locally. Not sure about other CF bows.

ah, i remember you! you've previously asked about a electric double bass, was it loud enough without plugging in.

so what did you buy at the end? an acoustic db or a electric db?

 

[Pizzicato]

hello! Haha, i've made my decision already, thanks to Mr Brandon Wong. He's a nice guy who let me try out many of his CF bows, but in the end both of us prefer the sound of a merely $200+~$300 wood bow!

Oh and i'm going to purchase a Shen acoustic db, sounds decent and looks great for me!

 

[alanchia]

Oh yes, Brandon is a nice guy. So you picking up the db lessons from him?

He's offering me to learn Jazz! but i think i will hardly put it in use and out of money for the moment, so i have to postpone till next time! He taught me before, corrected many of my mistakes while playing db, thanks to the previous tutor... Great tutor!

I do believe this is his site? He auditioned me once, and I've heard some great things about him. Haha, perhaps if I decide to pick up the double bass again I might head to him for some 'revision' classes.
