Hello, i'm really interested about these horn, but i've head about the Q series basses and there is one in particular that looks exactly like the Eastman bass (S.E. Shires TBQ36GR Q Series bass trombone), Personally what are you thoughts between both basses? Is there a huge different between both?
For me there is a fairly substantial difference between the two. I can really feel the difference, both in the build quality and in the response/playability, as well as in the sound. I feel that the Eastman 848 is a great playing bass at its price but for $600 more the TBQ36GR is on a different level, not to mention the ability to continue to customize the Q series to your particular needs through its ability to use custom Shires components. I think they’re both great instruments, it just depends on what one is looking for at what price...
I really like the Eastman ETB-848; I think it is a great option for the player looking for an accessible bass to grow on at a great price. That being said, I regard the Getzen 1052 as the best "intermediate" bass on the market; they play really well, have a more nuanced sound then the Eastman and are exceptionally well made. The biggest problem with the Getzen is availability; we actually have two in the shop at the moment but typically we only have them around a few weeks at a time and the leadtime on new orders is 9 months or more. If you can find a Getzen it would be my first recommendation but the Eastman is a very viable option as well...
It has been a bit since I have compared the 848G and TBQ36GR side by side but in recollection I would agree. In general I find that one of the big differences between the Q series and their Eastman counterparts is the openness of the response and sound; the Q series have a complexity and width to their sound that the Eastmans don't (but frankly that is a big difference we see between all intermediate vs. pro horns). One thing I have noticed is that it takes a more experienced player to get the Q series to work whereas the Eastmans are more approachable for growing trombonists; that's a big reason there are intermediate and pro options, different designs to suit different levels of player...
hello, i have many questions... sorry my funny english kkkk 1 this trombone is 9 1/2 " or 10 " ? 2 the transitions in valves is smoth? 3 the internal slide is good?
No worries! 1. 9 1/2” gold brass bell 2. The valves themselves respond very well. The transition from open to valve section is clean, with no more resistance then one would experience from any standard valve. I have noticed that the throw on the F trigger is a bit long but there is some room to adjust the height of the paddle lever. 3. The handslide is a 9.5/10, very good for a production slide. Let me know if we can help with anything else!
Unfortunately they are not. The bell is interchangeable between Eastman gold and yellow brass options but not with Shires. The Shires Q series bass (TBQ36) on the other hand is interchangeable with custom Shires components. For someone looking for this feature, it’s only a $600 difference and makes it worth considering...

Great video as always, Keith! Fun to see all the treasures at your terrific shop!
Thanks for posting this, its a cheaper bass trombone, thats good quality. I wanted to know how it played so thanks.
Great video, I'd like to see in your videos the details of the trombones you are presenting, this would help me get a better idea.
How does this compare to a Bach 50B?

Is this a good budget bass trombone
So which bass trombone is the better deal in terms of performance/playability, an Eastman ETB-848G or a Getzen 1052???
I really like the Eastman ETB-848; I think it is a great option for the player looking for an accessible bass to grow on at a great price. That being said, I regard the Getzen 1052 as the best "intermediate" bass on the market; they play really well, have a more nuanced sound then the Eastman and are exceptionally well made.

Thanks for the information and your quick and timely response!

@@SchmittMusicTromboneShop Sorry I have a 848 bass trombone, it's a 10 gold bell (254 mm)🙂
Do you know if this is compatable with other modern shires parts?
Unfortunately they are not. The bell is interchangeable between Eastman gold and yellow brass options but not with Shires. The Shires Q series bass (TBQ36) on the other hand is interchangeable with custom Shires components.
