Product Description

This is the bass most associated with the Beatles and Paul McCartney who still posseses his original and to this day uses it as his main instrument. The main difference between this and the original is the inclusion of a centre internal sustain block that allows the bass to be played at much higher stage volume levels without feedback allways an issue with the original. the Contemporary Series Violin Bass definitely has the original's vibe but with modern features.
