Since it's foundation in 1985, the 'Atelier voor Contrabas' (Workshop for Double Basses) has been a notion for Amsterdam based bass players.
It's owner Lucas Suringar has developed as THE authority on Double Basses. The Atelier has been the place for buying, repair and advice for professionals and amateurs alike.
If you have any questions on double basses, bows, bass-setup, bassamplification , basspick-up's or bass-cases, both hard- and softcases, dont hesitate to call me , or write me a Email at: contrabassen@gmail.com

It is my aim to alway's have a good stock of Double Basses , both old and new, in different price catagories, and in different sizes, in order to have something interesting for everybody. The old basses are almost all from Europe, abd most of them are handrestored by myself, or a very good repairmen who helpes me out when thing's get too hectic. The cheaper basses , in the range from 650 to 1600 Euro are almost all from the Far East, they offer a price/quality factor that cannot be beaten.At around 2000 Euro the East European basses come in,there are great basses being build in Hungary, Roemenia and the Tjech republic, whom i try to have in stock for you to try out.
