“Iwanicki” Cavani Upton Double Bass

Dave Anderson 27th June 2019
This Cavani-inspired Custom Commission features an Italian shape with Karr-like fingerboard access. A straightforward build with a German spruce top and European Sycamore, a fixed neck, dark polish and rib bumpers. Apparently the older sister has the same bass in a Karr pattern, and as much as the younger sister wanted the bass sis had, she was craving some individuality!   So, Cavani!  Once she saw the pics, plus the idea that it’s got the Karr neck block and is just a bit smaller in body than the Karr, she was all in! 

“Griffin” Cavani Model Upton Double Bass

Here's another stunner in this emerging star of our Custom Commissions category - This Cavani design, with it's pinched, classic Italian shape and terrific fingerboard access is both aesthetically pleasing and a soloists' dream. This is our first fixed-neck 3/4 size Cavani (note the Guttierez & Roy 7/8ths version competition model) and was built with choice Spruce and stunning flamed Maple back and sides.  A custom tailpiece and select mother-of-pearl fingerboard inlays complete the jewelry.
