For sale:
La Scala 3/4 bass by New Standard Instrument Co.
About 5 years old.
Excellent+ condition.
David Gage Realist pickup
Adjustable bridge
Includes Mooradian deluxe padded gig bag and bow (about $750 combined value)
Local pickup (or you can arrange shipping and packing at your expense)
$4000.
Additional information:
It features violin corners and gently sloping shoulders. The string length is shorter and it is perhaps a better choice for bassists who play a lot in the upper register. The sound is more direct and less "puffy", with excellent definition and considerable "growl". La Scala features a round back but can be special-ordered with a flat 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
