Larrivée B-03 Acoustic Bass 1991 - Natural Satin finish

RARE 1991 Custom Larrivée B-03 Acoustic Bass

This is the iconic Larrivée B-03 acoustic bass featured throughout the internationally best-selling instructional program, The Professional Bass Masterclass. If you've taken the course, you know this instrument's exceptional tone and playability intimately. Now it can be yours.

Built in Canada in 1991 under Jean Larrivée himself before the British Columbia factory closure, this custom B-03 represents the pinnacle of Larrivée's legendary craftsmanship. Featuring a solid Canadian Sitka spruce top paired with stunning solid Indian rosewood back and sides, this bass delivers the rich, resonant low-end and remarkable clarity you've heard in countless lesson videos. 

The rounded body-single cutaway design with Canadian Sitka spruce X-bracing provides optimal acoustic response, while the handfit dovetail neck joint ensures superior sustain and stability.

Premium appointments include a one-piece mahogany neck, 14/19-fret ebony fingerboard with elegant microdot inlays, and Canadian maple body binding.

The original artist behind the detailed and intricate inlay designs on many Larrivée guitars was Wendy Larrivée. Her work features mythological themes — for this bass a stunning seahorse inlay was added - a unique detail found only on select Larrivée instruments.

Equipped with professional-grade Fishman pickup system for seamless amplification. Natural satin finish beautifully highlights the wood's natural character.

Condition: Excellent. Meticulously maintained by original owner. Includes: Original hardshell case.

NOTE: There is a 3/4 inch flaking of enamel on the back of the headstock -- visible in the photograph.

This isn't just a premium acoustic bass—it's a piece of bass education history and a masterwork from one of North America's most respected luthiers during the golden era of Larrivée's Canadian production.
