I use this bass for 2 years, in cases where the transport or use of the old bass is problematic (place, risk ...)
It's not a bass, but amplified it replaces.
The game is top with a bow: easy blowing, its convenient.
And then, transport ... the dream!
I used to be a bass Gougy (removable for the plane), but who, because of the dismantling and reassembling, did not agree.
A good second instrument.
For travel, with a Markbass Microbass, it seems to leave the hands in the pockets!
