A visually stunning Testore style model by Giuseppe Lombardi with a sound to match.

Rib Depth: 7 7/8" ( upper Bout tapers to 7 1/8")

Features: It appears that all the fittings on this Bass (Nut, Fingerboard, Tailpiece and Endpin socket) are all original and made from Wenge, an exotic hardwood from Africa.

Note: This Bass just arrived recently from Italy (4/08). Although the Bass is set-up and playable as-is we might replace the Wenge components with Ebony some time in the near future as time allows.

Traditional Slab cut Woods proudly displayed on this Modern Classic Italian Double Bass.
Charming Scroll work here by Lombardi with the #38 engraved in the Button
