Double Bass Workshop

We have a new, carved round back bass made by Shen. The maple Rogeri model usually has some flamed wood figure in the back and sides but this bass has plain maple figure, hence the 200 designation rather than 300 or 800.  An attractive instrument nonetheless with some quilted maple like figure in the back.

Some dimensions:

upper bout width 21 1/2"

lower bout width 26"

rib depth at lower bout including plates 9"

rib depth at neck block 7 1/4"

distance from bottom of bass to top of button 46"

string length 41 1/2"

Fittings include a Despiau bridge and Ullsperger endpin. Nicer Shen tuners with a higher gear ratio.

Resonant open A string with quick bow response for a new bass. Plenty of low end. This is a larger instrument and would be a great bass for a college orchestral player. Big jazz sound as well.

$6000 with cover.
