My friend Rocky and his daughter, Lilli, came up to visit me this weekend. Rocky asked me about driving to Greensboro to go check out a bass shop. We’d never been to a store that exclusively sold upright basses, so I said, “Let’s do it.” It was super cool! We talked to Bob Beerman, the owner and head repairman. He was very friendly and knowledgable. Rocky tried out several different basses so he could figure out what he liked and didn’t like. If you play upright and you’re ever in Greensboro, NC, give Bob at the Bass Violin Shop a call and set up an appointment. You’ll be glad you did!
