can an upright bass fit into a smart car?

We had fit one into our Subaru Forester when transporting All-State kids. We had the kid's Dad drive over the week before, and let us test-fit it.. Although this sounds odd to some, you know that the only real way it to take your bass for a test drive - take it over to the dealership in the car you own, and try it - or when you take the Smart out for a drive, go back to your house and try your bass there. Of course, if you want to *remove a seat* to do this, you will want the guy from the dealership to do that. One of my cellists *test drove* her cello - many cars really looked like they would hold her cello, but it was a real wrestling match, and highly inconvenient. Harpists and other large-instrument players go thru the same thing - which is way the Union always paid *cartage*. Good luck - I am glad that I gave up the bass decades ago, and am a flutist - and I still manage to haul around a lot of stuff.

Potentially

... if you get the convertible model.
