High quality premium tonewood, cut from the oldest trees possible, is dry-aged for many years to produce a handcrafted instrument out of highly durable and resonant pieces of wood. 

Upgraded strings are made from a variety of materials, enhancing the natural sound characteristics of the instrument: tone quality, volume, responsiveness, and playability. Changing string and instrument combinations can create a very unique sound profile. 

Flamed maple back and ribs accentuate the natural wood traits, while the spruce top features a lightweight, strong, and flexible topwood with optimal acoustic qualities.

Hand-applied varnish provides a protective sheen and refined look to the bass, while also influencing the natural vibrations and impulses of the wood to impact the instrument's overall sound quality.

Bigger sound, better response. The combination of all components of an upgrade bass contribute to a much bigger sound with better response, enabling an advancing player to find their sound identity.
