The PS75 in both 4 string and 6 string models has a 750mm scale length, the upper bout is 325mm, lower bout is 418mm, body length is 565mm, overall length is 1130mm, body depth is 115mm. The nut width on both 4 string and string models is 52mm.

Both the 4 string and the 6 string Contrabass are normally used in guitar orchestras, classical guitar ensembles, jazz groups, folk groups, and church music groups in much the same way as a standup bass or electric bass.

The nylon string contrabass generates a unique full, resonant, warm sound. The nylon strings are like the bass strings on a classical guitar in that the core is composed of many thin nylon filaments and then thin silver coated wire is wrapped around the core.

Musicians who are use to playing steel string guitar basses are usually amazed with the warm, full sound of these nylon string Octave Bass Guitars.

All 6 strings of the PS75 are tuned an octave below the standard classical guitar. The 4 string Contrabass is tuned an octave lower than the lower four strings on the standard classical guitar. With this tuning it is very simple for a player of standard guitar to play the contrabass.
