Shen SB180 Double Bass

Double bass · China

The Shen SB180 is a hybrid double bass that pairs a fully carved solid spruce top with laminated maple back and ribs, giving a darker, richer tone than an all-plywood bass while retaining the durability of a laminated body. It features a fully carved maple neck and scroll, solid ebony fingerboard, and figured back and ribs that distinguish it from the plainer SB150. It is a popular step-up choice for advancing students and orchestras.
