AN ELECTRO ACOUSTIC 'MINI' DOUBLE BASS
Some years ago I produced a Mini bass which was centered on a 1/4 scale Antoni double bass with modifications including stretching the scale length to 3/4. It was an expensive process to carry out such modifications and the demand was smaller than expected. Feedback showed that the market would be better served by a shorter scale version (34" bass guitar scale length) which helped the bass guitarist settle instantly with the new model. It is now available to order and has the following specification:
Antoni 1/4 scale double bass fitted with Wittner lightweight tail piece and Supersensitive red label strings. High quality Cordura Gig bag and extended end pin. Bassix own brand fully screened Piezo sensors (as fitted to all current Bassix models) complete the package allowing the legendary true acoustic sound of the instrument. The compact body measures 94cm (37") and overall height for easy transport is only 165cm (5ft 5inches).
Bassix are pleased to announce that we are now stocking Schertler bass amplifiers, probably one of the finest acoustic upright amps available. See range page for specification.
