La Scala Hybrid Model / 2012
La Scala is a 3/4 size bass of distinctly Italian design.
It features violin corners and gently sloping shoulders. The neck is D neck and is great for bassists who play a lot in the upper register. The sound is more direct with excellent definition and considerable growl. La Scala features a round back.
Built of poplar-core laminates, which are light and resonant
Beautiful spruce and maple exterior veneers
Quality ebony fingerboard, nut, saddle and endpin (10mm with screw-on tip)
Hand-applied oil finish (no tone-robbing polyester, lacquer or heavy conversion varnishes)
Set-up to exacting specifications, with special one-piece adjusters installed in a fine European maple bridge
Authentic inlaid purfling, top and back, which adds to the beauty and helps prevent edge degradation
Beautifully carved scroll and neck, top-notch attention to detail throughout
Proper neck-set angle for arco playing
Hybrid models include a fully carved European spruce top.
String Length 41 1/2 / 105.5 cm.
Body Length 44 / 111.8 cm.
Upper Bout 19 1/4 / 49 cm.
Lower Bout 25 5/8 / 65 cm.
An excellent choice for the professional or advanced amateur/student playing classical, solo, and/or jazz.
All parts were made in Germany then assembled and setup in the USA by Arnold Schnitzer, Wil de Sola did the varnish.
My bass has a Fishman full circle pickup, Protec quiver and Mooradian case.
The strings are Dominants for A, D and G with a Spirocore stark E.
Thanks for your interest
