EMINENCE

eminenCe® eleCt r iC upr ight ba ssThe Eminence bass has an arched top and bottom, a bass bar and a sound-post - the same structural design as a standard-size double bass. The un-amplified sound of the Eminence is great for practising in the hotel room or if you have sensitive neighbors. Played amplified, the Eminence with its acoustic body sounds like a larger acoustic double bass. The string length of 105 cm / 41-1/4“ and a standard-size neck deliver a familiar playing feel and an easy transition from standard-size double bass to portable upright bass.

The Eminence bass is also available with a removable neck option (Emi-nence RN models). It just takes a few minutes to assemble or disassemble the Eminence RN. A steel dovetail joint guarantees a resistant and durable fit. An additional sturdy flight case with wheels is also available.

Models:

■■ E-DB – Eminence Standard mode)■■ E-DB-RN – Eminence removable neck model■■ E-DB5 – Eminence Standard model 5 strings■■ E-DB-RN5 – Eminence removable neck model 5 strings

Options:

■■ Flight Case - For removable neck model■■ ST302T-Emi – Metal display stand,

particular designed to fit the horizontal endpin

Chr i stopher® r emovable neCk modelTraveling with the bass is always a challenge. It is getting more restricted and expensive especially traveling by air. To make traveling with the bass easier, Concord has developed a double bass with a removable neck. As the maker of the Eminence bass, Concord is very experienced in making por-table basses. Because of the steel dovetail joint, the neck can be removed and assembled within just a few minutes.

■■ Available as gamba or violin model, 3/4 size■■ Laminated spruce top, laminated flamed maple back

and sides■■ Adjustable bridge■■ Fastened ebony tailpiece■■ Ebony fingerboard■■ Rubner machine heads – Tyrolean style■■ Concord Deluxe endpin■■ Antique finish■■ Customized fully carved RN bass

is available upon request

DB202TGM-RN-ANT

The softcase for the Christopher RN can be used for both the as-sembled and disassmbled bass. The overall dimension of this pack-age isn’t much more than the dimension of the bass’ body (70 cm x 130 cm), small enough to fit in a car trunk, train compartment, or even a bike trailer easily. An optional flight hard case is also avail-able for the Christopher® RN. The dimensions of the flight hard case are L 55‘‘ x W 32‘‘ x H 22‘‘; the total weight, including instru-ment, is 60.5 lbs.
