“Spencer” Karr Model Double Bass

Dave Anderson 23rd July 2018
This Karr model double bass features stunning wood choices and an adjustable/removable neck. We were commissioned to make a copy of the Gary Karr Special ISB 50th Anniversary Upton Double Bass out of similarly flamed Big Leaf Maple from Gary Upton's special stash of select woods.  The bar was high here in the workshop as we all knew the inspiration for this bass was extraordinary, and the team really pulled off another stunning example of the UB Karr model.

“Hime” Solid Wood Flatback Brescian with Removable Neck

Dave Anderson 15th June 2015
Here's a beautiful flat back Brescian built with some exciting choices. In this case the removable neck was added mostly for string height adjustability on the gig - the solid bridge definitely adds punch. Domestic maple flat back, and a stunning German spruce top. Options: Removable neck, rib bumpers, light tailpiece and lightened antiqued tuners, a few dot inlays, Rev Solo pickup.
