New design for acoustic bass, this is a project that i have had in mind for a decay, always wanted to take the bass to a different level, at this point i´ve been making a prototype that is in need for the market. Written solo pieces for the bass album"Anima.

Project that i have been working on last months designing and make an acoustic bass, musical instrument i wanted to make years ago finally i had some time to start working on, at this point the bass is nearly at final stage.

Soundboard is glued to the ribs back is nearly ready to be glued and finally closing the soundbox, neck and fingerboard have been made designing the tailpiece and bridge is ready ,there are still few factors that need to be done, it will have adjustable neck for string action,traveling and option to have different fingerboard : Microtonal,fretless or even electric viol de gamba neck.Tuning pegs will be like on Arabic Oud and the electronic part will be piezo insert into the bridge and and special microphone system inside the instrument am working upclose with a Italian Luthier on that .

I have written solo pieces for this 6 string acoustic solo bass, now i want to bring this pieces into a studio environment, get a New York artist to make an album artwork and put this pieces on a vinyl/cd form.

Traveling with the instrument to different country and play solo consert to follow the music through and introduce the bass worldwide, take the instrument to bass convention and make a webside for marketing.
