We have a variety of interesting basses coming into the shop this new year - here's two on the larger side - a beautiful Neville Whitehead bass from Australia, and a 19th century blockless Tyrolean that has been updated to remain a very active player. One set up for jazz, one for under the bow - but either would thrive in the other's role! Call the shop for details or an early audition +1 (860) 535-9399. Neville Whitehead, 1994 Tyrolean 7/8ths, mid-1800s

This pearl of a petit Juzek is just into the shop! Has a 1968 Board of Ed. stamp on it, probably a new student bass at the time, has emerged unscathed a half-century later. A few little scrapes, but a really beautiful example of this likely German Wilfer-sourced fully-carved student bass. 38" scale length - bass guitarists take note! We have a few nice 5/8ths around here - give the shop a call! +1 (860) 535-9399.
