La
Scala Model
La Scala is a 3/4 size bass of distinctly Italian design.
 |
|
It
features violin corners and gently sloping shoulders. The
string length is shorter and it is perhaps a better choice
for bassists who play a lot in the upper register. The sound
is more direct and less "puffy", with excellent
definition and considerable "growl". La Scala features
a round back but can be special-ordered with a flat back.
- Built
of poplar-core laminates, which are light and resonant
- Beautiful
spruce and maple exterior veneers
- Quality
ebony fingerboard, nut, saddle and endpin (10mm with screw-on
tip)
- Hand-applied
oil finish (no tone-robbing polyester, lacquer or heavy
conversion varnishes)
- Set-up
to exacting specifications, with special one-piece adjusters
installed in a fine European maple bridge
- Authentic
inlaid purfling, top and back, which adds to the beauty
and helps prevent edge degradation
- Beautifully
carved scroll and neck, top-notch attention to detail throughout
- Proper
neck-set angle for arco playing
|
Hybrid
models include a fully carved European spruce top.
