Description Andreas Eastman VB305 Double Bass Evah Pirazzi This is a new Eastman Vb305 double bass, hand built by Eastman Strings, that has had our full workshop set up carried out by our luthier and is fitted with Pirastro Evah Pirazzi strings The Evah Pirazzi strings work incredibly well with the VB305. The gut like pizz sound and the easy starting under the bow make this bass a great allrounder. We’ve taken a normal grade ‘A’ quality bridge and custom fitted adjusters to it to ensure the best quality adjustable bridge. With the adjustable bridge and the hybrid Evah Pirazzi strings, this makes an ideal flexible bass for the player who undertakes a variety of playing. The quality of the VB305’s sound is remarkably clean and you can clearly hear the overtones. Harmonics are very pronounced and ring out perfectly with great depth and excellent sustain. The VB305 double bass is not a production line model, but one that is hand built. Not only is the VB305 made from quality tonewoods, but there is a staggering attention to detail on this bass. This double bass is in stock and available to try at our Derbyshire location.
