Fine Ebony bass fingerboard, un-surpassed quality. Jet black, straight grain. Plenty of ebony for fitting to nearly every double bass from 3/4 to full size.
Seeing so many old and (even worse) new instruments with
saddle cracks has given us pause to rethink one of the most overlooked areas
of bowed instruments. The concept is simple, and the result is traditional
in appearance. It is our intent to significantly reduce the likelihood of a
saddle crack occurring in an instrument with this saddle installed.
