Kolstein Busetto Model Bass
Double bass · United States
The Kolstein Busetto Model is a compact professional double bass handcrafted in the Samuel Kolstein bass shop, modeled on a reduced scaling of the famed LaFaro Prescott bass played by Scott LaFaro. The shorter string length suits traveling and smaller players while delivering a full tonal spectrum with strong pizzicato and arco response. It is delivered fully set up to Kolstein specification with an adjustable bass bridge, Heritage strings, a Kolstein Panormo endpin, decorative brass gears, and a Planet Wing pickup.
