To celebrate the 60th anniversary of our 1963 Violin Bass, our latest model the “Violin Bass ’63 – 60th Anniversary” is now available!
This iconic Violin Bass takes its inspiration from our basses made around July and August of 1963 and, as far as is possible, is a close reproduction of these instruments.
