[gallery ids="68812,68817,68816"]Martin Double Bass: This instrument is based on the great masters of bass making notably Vincenzo Panormo and Thomas Kennedy. These classic English made double basses were 4/4 size, and most likely the Martins referral to this model as a 4/4 is paying homage to the basses that inspired their own making. The Martin’s slightly adjusted the upper outline and tried to retain the classic character while making the instrument easily playable, so while the Martins affectionately call this their 4/4 model, it is a large bodied 3/4. Used but loved by a professional local to the UB shop where we have been able to care for and adjust this bass since we imported it new.
