Matt: Welcome to SOTW.
Do you want a used bass sax - or a new one? If new, I recently saw a new Taiwanese bass sax (by International Woodwinds) that was terrific. I did not play it, but the guy at the display booth (the NAMM Show in Anaheim last January) played one of the two for me - and it sounded wonderful. Just like the old vintage Bueschers/Conns of the 1920's.
Also, check out Epplesheim (sp?) who makes all sorts of bass saxophones.
Used? Check eBay, here on SOTW (even post a wanted notice in the FOR SALE section), and other routine vintage sax sources (like Gayle Fredenburgh's www.vintagesax.com. DAVE
