New Gewa Walther 5/8 bass
$7500
A nice new bass from the German Rubner workshop in Saxony, with European Spruce and Carpathian flamed maple. The finish is red spirit varnish with some antiquing.
Some dimensions:
- string length 40 3/16″
- upper bout width 19 3/8″
- lower bout width 26 1/4″
- rib depth tapers from 7 3/8″ to 6 5/8″
- length of back 42 5/8″
The size of this instrument should appeal to players looking for a bass a bit smaller than the 3/4, or maybe just something easier to play and and get around on. The projection is great for a smaller bass, and it’s fun to play.
Set up with an adjustable Despiau bridge, New Harmony carbon endpin and D’addario Kaplan strings.
