BASSIX Carbon fibre/composite acoustic travel double bass
It is a well known fact that most stringed instruments use a variety of wood in
their construction as certain woods perform differently to others.
Why is it then that some modern non wooden versions use the same materials
throughout.
Carbon fibre when laminated with various resins can make a very light, strong and
resonant instrument, but just using carbon fibre (and usually epoxy resin) can have
limitations.
The Bassix instruments capture the strength and resonance of carbon fibre reinforcement
where applicable but blend it with other composite materials to create lightweight and
responsive instruments. The materials (like wood) are varied in type and application
making the finished article more responsive, often lighter and certainly more cost
effective than their 100% carbon fibre / epoxy counterparts.
For travelling with the Bassix bass, the neck, tailpiece and bridge can be easily removed
and stowed with the body in the purpose built clam shell composite case.(optional). Also
included is a well padded gig bag for day to day use.
Almost any proprietary double bass pick up and strings can be used where required.
Various colour options are available. RRP.......£2495 (GBP)
