Palatino VB-004 Crack-Resistant Upright Bass with Padded Bag, 3/4 Size

This great bass is new, but it is a B stock item because it has a 7 inch long scratch or dark line on the bass side on the lower bout. The good news is that because of the minor issues, which don’t affect the play at all, we are selling it with a discount of over $700.00 of the regular street price. The bad news is, we would like to sell this bass for pickup only and we do not want to ship it, so if you can make it to our store in Harrisonville, MO., great, but if not, it will probably be a fortune to ship to you. 

Inspired by old world craftsmanship and the artistry of Italian design, Palatino takes its name from a central hill in Rome where ancient emperors built their palaces. It is from these origins that provide Palatino its passion for incredibly crafted and meticulously detailed musical instruments.

Since 1994, Palatino has been devoted to bringing together the beauty of tradition with the strength of contemporary technology to classic instruments for the world to enjoy.

The best-selling bass in America, the VB-004 features a crack-resistant spruce top with a gracefully designed, arched maple back. The neck is hand carved from solid maple for a great fit. The fingerboard and tailpiece are made from ebonized woods, and the bass comes with German-quality, Tyrolean tuners, with a 24:1 gear ratio. This favorite outfit includes a Mongolian horsehair bow and a DuraGuard nylon bag. This outfit simply can't be beat for the price!
