Here we have a new, fully carved roundback 3/4 size bass from Rubner. Made from spruce and moderately flamed maple with dark golden brown spirit varnish. The upper bout shoulders are sloped to increase upper access.
Some dimensions:
- string length 41 1/4″
- lower bout width 26 1/4″
- upper bout width 19 1/2″
- lower block rib depth 8″
- neck block rib depth 7″
- length of back 44 1/4″
This bass has punchy midrange pizzicato tone reminiscent of the famous “Juzek sound” heard on so many classic jazz recordings. The arco sound is nice as well with a quick response and evenness throughout the range. Set up with Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Weich strings and a New Harmony carbon endpin.
