This instrument was originally built as a four string solo instrument but later converted via a new neck to a five string bass with high C.
Made from a stunning set of Tasmanian blackwood ribs and back, and a sitka spruce top, this bass has a clear and beautiful tone in all registers, winning a silver medal for tone at the ISB makers competition. The sloped shoulders make it ergonomically superb. It is currently owned and played by Melbourne musician Michael Currie.
