- Bass SHIPPING BOXES: For the love of all that's holy, take the shipping boxes. Please. Use them for mulch, fire starter, moving your entire household in one box, endless entertainment for the kids. Anything that gets them out of here. Particularly handy for shipping basses. Did we mention they are free, and free is good?
- Violin and Viola hard-shell cases, used: Retired from rentals, these are durable, quality cases that just have some miles on them. Several available - 4/4, 3/4 and 1/2 sizes. Free to $20 (depending on condition)
- "Stage prop" vintage and antique violin cases: we have a few "gangster-era" and older (19th-century wood construction). They seriously sell to theatre companies and film prop houses. $5 - $10.
- String shop fixtures: we are re-designing our retail area and have a few items to sell: Violin hanger/shelves, each holds 12 violins or violas hanging by the scrolls. Handmade; nicely done. 5 available $100 each.
- Bass racks: yes we are finally upgrading those black racks you've seen in our showroom for the last 10 years. Various lengths that hold between 2 and 5 basses. The bottom bout sits on the racks; tops of the basses can sit straight up or lean against a wall. These are low tech, baby! Build of dimensional lumber, painted black, grey Ozite industrial felt covers the contact surface. We have as many as can fit in our store rooms and are selling off the surplus. Make offer.

Bass shipping boxes:
virtually every new bass you've ever seen arrived at the dealer in a cardboard box, and those at QBC are no exception. For the love of all that's holy, take some cardboard boxes! Use them for mulch, fire starter, moving your entire apartment and getting a hernia in just one lift, entertaining your kids, hiding from society, or heck, shipping your bass - we don't care, so long as they're out of here. Boxes. Please take some. |
Free to schools: good, playable used bass strings. Various quality brands. We have been giving away used sets of bass strings to schools as long as QBC has been in business! They are professional strings, mostly from orchestra professionals who replace their strings frequently and ask us to donate the used ones. Subject to availability.

- Reunion Blues bass bag, black, 7/8-4/4 size, great (used) condition, just $350!

It's the Rolls-Royce of bass bags, classy, durable, and with virtually NO road noise. It's the Rolex of bass bags, and you want that trophy bass on your arm to be sporting a Reunion Blues. You know that new, this bag costs more than your first bass, but no one else will know you only paid $350. You also know that to mule around a 7/8 or 4/4 bass in a Reunion Blues case, you are either super buff or want to appear so. It's so easy: LOOK BUFF - GET THIS BAG. SOLD - TO ONE VERY BUFF BASS PLAYER
-European fiberglass trunk, used - dark blue! SOLD. You are an individual, and you want a bass trunk that makes a statement. In that long line of white trunks backstage, you can point proudly to the blue one and say (deferentially, with lowered lashes) "that one's mine". YOU are too good for some brown-toothed, rednecked American trunk that uses apostrophe's with plural's [sic]! You deserve a suave, slightly mysterious trunk that smokes too much, showers infrequently and has a mistress! Like many Europeans, this trunk is well-built and has heavy-duty casters. Though it's high quality, it is of unknown brand - like Prince Phillip, it doesn't have a last name, and like Prince The Artist Known As, it doesn't have a first name, either. JUST $1199
