For Sale: Shen SB200 Willow 7/8-size Bass

Made in 2008. Set up by and and purchased directly from Paul Strelau of CSC Products (Rochester, NY) that same year. Mint condition (only a handful of tiny dings and miniscule edge wear). Excellent tone, volume, and playability for jazz or classical music. Additional photos available upon request.

* Spruce top
* Willow flatback and ribs. Back is X-braced and very slightly rounded for strength and stability.
* String length: 42"
* Upper bout: 21.5"
* C bout: 15.5"
* Lower bout: 27.5"
* Body length: 47"
* Ebony nut, fingerboard, tailpiece, and saddle.
* Adjustable bridge with wooden adjusters (metal threads)
* Pirastro Evah Pirazzi regular strings installed 7 months ago. These are great hybrid (jazz/classical) strings!

One of my teachers, a member of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, bought one of these basses for himself, and has coaxed quick spiccato notes, among other things, out of my bass.

$4,450 with Bobelock bag. Local pick-up only. This bass is worth the drive!

As an sb200 owner who has rented and bought from Paul in the past, I can vouche for this bass, this shouldn't last long. You will not find a comparable bass for this price period. Since I have bought mine three of my friends have upgraded to a sb200. Good luck with the sale!
