Please visit How to Choose a Bass for a discussion of what to consider when selecting a bass. Before buying a bass or bow, it is a very good idea to test several basses and bows. If you do decide to buy online or through mail order, carefully investigate the company’s return policy. If you're a beginner, you may want to ask your bass teacher or a bassist friend to play the bass and use the bow you are considering buying to make sure that the bass and bow are well-made and are able to produce a good tone.
