Note: This model is usually made with a 40 1/2" to 40 3/4" String Length. A recent 'longer' Neck Graft to obtain a 41 1/2" String length along with a full set-up was performed by New York Luthier Arnold Schnitzer. This Bass is now a full 3/4 or 7/8ths rather than the usual 5/8ths or small 3/4 size String Length that is usually supplied from Pollmann.
These Basses in both 4 and 5-string models as well as other models made by Pollman are currently being used in Professional Symphony Orchestras throughout the world. This is the 3rd Pollmann Bass I have personally owned and the best one to date I have played. This Bass has been Sold. |
