Description:
This bass is a beauty! Robbie’s daughter, Helen, made this gorgeous bass out of 50-60 year old, seasoned wood. The ergonomic design make it a joy to play. The sound is big and open. The bass has a removable neck and a clever way of keeping the soundpost in place when the string tension is released. It takes less than 15 minutes to assemble or disassemble the instrument. The bass also has an optional trunk made by Jean Auray, the Nanoo, which is an added $3,500.
