Samuel Eastman VB80 3/4 Upright Bass – Built for Playability, Crafted to Last
The Samuel Eastman VB80 3/4 Upright Bass is an exceptional choice for students, educators, and developing musicians seeking a reliable and great-sounding instrument. Designed with durability and ease of use in mind, this pre-owned VB80 shows some cosmetic signs of honest playwear—including finish wear on the top and minor surface scratches—but remains in solid playing condition and ready for stage, studio, or rehearsal. With its high-gloss varnish and fully laminated spruce and maple construction, the VB80 offers impressive tonal warmth, projection, and long-term structural resilience.
Outfitted with quality components like a solid ebony fingerboard, Rubner brass Tyrolean-style tuning machines, and a Despiau bridge, this model stands above typical entry-level basses in both tone and craftsmanship. Its traditional gamba pattern body style, smooth-playing setup, and included padded bag make it a practical and compelling option for any bassist looking for a reliable upright bass with a proven track record in schools and performance settings alike.
