Recent professional setup for previous player.
This instrument shows signs of regular professional use. Cosmetic wear includes a repaired back seam and a visible crack below the bass-side f-hole (stable and addressed as part of recent maintenance). The neck exhibits minor blemishing that does not affect performance. Tonally, the instrument is exceptionally balanced, with a notably warm and rounded sound—significantly fuller than typical examples of this pattern.
The tall bridge enhances projection and articulation, making this bass suitable for orchestral or jazz applications. The former owner carefully maintained and played this bass extensively before upgrading to a higher-tier instrument.
