We love this commission for legendary bassist Victor Wooten!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Victor asked us to replicate his 18th Century instrument labeled as a Vincenzo Carcassi, a stout wide-ribbed 5\/8ths double bass. We built him two variations, and are now making this unique instrument available to you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Victor Wooten Double Bass project began with the idea for a collaboration at the 2015 ISB show in Rochester, NY.\u00a0 Victor asked to bring us his 18th Century double bass to copy for a modern feel and touring durability.He loves the sound and feel of his Carcassi and hoped we could capture that in some new basses.\u00a0 The resulting detachable-neck fully carved and fixed neck hybrid versions are fantastic smaller instruments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
