We love this commission for legendary bassist Victor Wooten!
Victor asked us to copy his 18th Century instrument labeled as a Vincenzo Carcassi, a stout wide-ribbed 5/8ths double bass. We built him two different versions, and are now making this unique instrument available to you.
The Victor Wooten Double Bass project began with the idea for a collaboration at the 2015 ISB show in Rochester, NY. Victor asked to bring us his 18th Century double bass to copy for a modern feel and touring durability. He loves the sound and feel of his Carcassi and hoped we could capture that in some new basses. The resulting removable-neck fully carved and fixed neck hybrid versions are fantastic smaller instruments.
