Travel Bass AT LAST A PROPER FULL BODIED ELECTRIC DOUBLE BASS - BUT IT TRAVELS !!!
Since the latest round of size/weight regulations implemented by most international airlines, travelling with a double bass has become almost impossible. At only just over 4ft long - 18 inches wide and 8 inches deep the suitcase size package weighs in at under 10 kgs !! It all packs away in the flight case body with external scuff cover. Travelling with a double bass is no longer a problem. Developed from the Hi Tech range of EUB s, this bass sports a full 'Brescia' style body which for travelling encloses the backbone of the instrument - still in tune and ready to play - setting up - takes a matter of seconds. Stand up and play and the bass leans into the player's body with a secure stability not usually associated with electric uprights - sit down and play arco and the bass sits with you in comfort thanks to the natural feeling body. Standard ¾ scale with fully arched fingerboard, sophisticated sensing system including on board Pre-amp EQ and optional fingerboard 'slap' pickup for Rockabilly players. Presto nylon wound strings complete the specification for a real 'gutty' sound. A skeletal body outline moulding is still an option giving body reference points in a travelling size of 4ft long in a sausage style carry bag.

Bass full spec full bodied from £1395
With skeletal moulding from £995.

Interchangeable electric upright bass For many years Bassix has been building electric upright basses with particular emphasis on portability. The Hi Tech range has been a great success but does not appeal to all players. Some bassists prefer a 'minimalistic' approach, where others find the need for a more traditional appearance.
