SOLD
For sale is my
Azola Bug Bass which comes with both a gig bag and an Azola flight case. This is a perfect traveling bass for an upright bassist!
$1995
This is a really wonderful instrument. It is 41.5" scale, very comfortable to play, and has a great sound with both punch and sustain. Not too "fretlessy", but not thuddy either. Arco is surprisingly good. I used it on a tour in Russia with Donna Ulisse this past summer and it performed very well. Soundmen were very pleased with the direct sound.
I am the 2nd owner, so I don't have all the details about the bass. I purchased it from Nashville Used Music around a year ago. It has a beautiful flamed maple top, an onboard preamp with 2 band EQ (on the back side of the bass), the pickup is built into the bridge. I think it is a second generation Azola Bug, I've seen earlier ones with a boxier body shape. The bass is in very good condition, there is some wear and a few minor dings in spots, but overall very good. It is currently strung with a nearly new set of Spirocore Solo Gauge strings (tuned at regular pitch). These have been my favorites, I've also used Velvet Garbos w/Oliv D which was also nice.
The bass in the case weighs right around 50 lbs. The case (at the widest point) is 60" X 15" X 13".
I will meet a buyer within 75 miles of Nashville for pickup. I am happy to ship, but buyer must pay shipping costs. Tell me where and how you want it shipped and I'll get you a quote. By UPS Ground, I'd estimate $75-$100 in the CONUS, but dont quote me on that
Unfortunately, my wife will be having minor surgery in January and will need to take time off from work. January is not a busy time for me, so I need to sell some gear to get ready. I hate to see this go, it's a great bass.
Also, as you may know, Azola has suspended production on these and they are becoming collectable. Many folks think these are the best EUBs made, and I'll agree!

Here are some pics of me playing it in Russia and also the cases.
The Azola is much easier than playing one of these!
Travels easier too!
and I'm afraid its not included with the Azola package. Headed out of town tonight but I will try and post some clips after the holidays.
