UB Fully Carved Double Bass
The instrument was varnished in house using a handmade spirit. This
process leaves a unique appearance that is as individual as the wood itself.? The photo's below are not "stock" photographs...they are THE
photographs of the actual bass you would receive. Although the bass
photographed well, the studio lights make the instrument look flat in
appearance. The bass is even more vibrant in your presence.
Upon the completion of the antiquing process the bass then went on to our
setup luthiers. A thick grade A ebony board with a solo extension was fit and dressed.
While many of our customers request fingerboards that reach to C, you can far
exceed C and
play all the way up to E! Next we installed the newest, most exquisite tuners from
the Markneukirchen workshop of Rubner in a reverse orientation to lesson the
stress put on the peg-box walls by the E string. These solid cast tuners give an old
world look and feel that just cannot be had with stamped plate tuners. A
German endpin and our stock French bridge round out this basses attention to
detail.
The tone of this instrument is very clear and even in contrast to many
Chinese basses that we find are often tubby. As with every instrument that
goes through our setup workshop, we employ a number of proprietary processes to
optimize the instrument in hand.
