    Sad day: Audere is closing

    SOLD Price Drop Stambaugh 5 String Lined Fretless Single Cut -shipping to Lower 48 only

    The top looks like it could be franquette walnut, but I could be adjusted on that point. Whatever it is, it is a truly stunning instrument, highly representative of Chris' outstanding work.

    SOLD Fodera Custom Emperor Elite 6 string bass
