Outlet Franz Hoffmann™ Prelude Double Bass

Franz Hoffmann Prelude Bass

The perfect bass for that serious student in your household - excellent performance, easy playability, and a bright sounding tone - at a value price! This bass is made of fine laminates which have been carefully dried and aged. This process ensures durability which is critical in a large instrument. A beautiful veneer is then applied over the surface of the wood. Unlike many lesser basses, the Prelude has a sturdy ebony fingerboard, an adjustable bridge, and is set-up with Helicore strings. Made in China and set up in Ann Arbor.

[This is a blemished instrument, therefore the instrument may have unspecified aesthetic marks, bruises, and scrapes and, as well, these will vary from instrument to instrument. However, all blemished set-up and verified by SHAR Music to be functional with no tonal defects. SHAR Music does not accept returns on blemished instruments.]
