Description

Edit description

The Samuel Shen Model 88 Laminated Upright Bass is the quintessential choice for musicians who demand reliability and rich tonal quality without the hefty price tag. Tailored for both budding bassists and seasoned performers, this upright bass is crafted with precision and care to withstand the rigors of school programs, rental applications, and gigging life.

This model features a hand-applied oil varnish, delivering an old-world aesthetic that distinguishes it from other instruments in its class. With a laminated maple top, back, and ribs, the Shen SB88 ensures durability while producing a resonant and warm sound. The ebony fingerboard provides a comfortable playing surface, enhancing the player's experience during extensive practice sessions or performances.

Equipped with a Shen composite plug endpin with a 10mm rod and replaceable screw-on tip, this bass offers stability and ease of adjustment. The dyed maple Hill-style tailpiece and standard individual tuning machines add to its robust and functional design. The instrument is available in various sizes, from 3/4 to 1/8, catering to players of all ages and skill levels.

Whether you’re performing on stage or refining your skills in a classroom, the Shen Model 88 is a reliable companion, offering exceptional tone and playability.
