Colin Cross Electric Upright Double Bass EUB w F/Case

[Jon Thorne]

For sale - A Bespoke 3/4 Electric Double Bass by Colin Cross of Buxton Violin Shop 2009.

Based on the design of the double bass Colin built for Jon Thorne in 2008. A totally unique instrument built specifically to replicate the sound and feel of a double bass as closely as possible, this quality piece of craftsmanship has many high end features including

1. A hollow body chamber to add depth and resonance to the sound, similar to Eberhard Weber's new bass design.
2. Irving Sloane Machine Heads, the finest tuners in the world
3. Fine quality flamed maple for the body and ebony for the fingerboard.
4. A Fishman Full Circle Pick Up
5. A comfortable action and a 39" stop length for greater ease of playing.
6. A custom flight case which is under the weight restrictions of all airlines and has wheels for ease of transport. This will easily fit into the boot of a hatchback car.
7. A detachable shoulder rest.

This will make the perfect international or local travel bass for the player who wants the feel of the real thing whilst wanting to leave their double bass safely at home. It would also make a perfect practice instrument if noise and neighbours is an issue. Price £1550

Please email me if you require more photos or call Jon on 07540 633670 with any questions. I will ship internationally if necessary. Thanks for the interest.
