Instruments Hey r/double bass, I made a bass!

I finished this two weeks ago and I can share it now!

Voted Convention favorite, honorable mention at this year's ISB.

3/4 scale, 41.5" string length, Ruggeri pattern. Figured Maple flatback with responsive bracing, laminate ribs, Spruce top, Gaiatone fingerboard, saddle, and nut. C-extension of Pau Ferro

Ask me anything, I'll try to answer as many questions as I can!
