SoundPost stocks the Double Trolley, a superbly engineered/designed trolley/stool. This invention, designed in Denmark( ** see note below), is a trolley specially designed for wheeling about basses, and converts very easily and rapidly into a heavy-duty bass stool, which does not creak, is fully adjustable, is very secure, and is a superbly engineered invention. Even the pneumatic wheels have roller bearings, while the tyres are large, and smooth out most of the bumps and rattles on any surface, which is good for the bass. To change from one use to the other takes literally seconds- very easy to use, and very well designed. The seat itself is made of leather, the whole thing is a high quality item, designed by a bassist for bassists. Visit the website at www.doublebass.dk Order from us to save the freight costs, no surcharge for credit cards, and we guarantee to offer the best price in the UK for these trolleys.(Compare our price to others- we guarantee to beat any genuine price offer in the UK) | Photo 1 | Photo 2 | Photo 3 | Photo 4 |
