Your Bass looks nice by the way. My cut Loveri is not too far off from your bass. Upper and Lower bouts are 19 1/4" and 27". The Top to the tip is 44 1/2" and the Back over the button is 46". It too is a great sounding Bass but, it doesn't compete with the likes of a Storioni or some other master grade Italian or English orchestral Bass. |
I'm only a student so I've never had the opportunity to play a "great master" bass, all I'm saying is that for a modern instrument (which I'm lucky to have a lot of experience playing on) this one to me sounds the best. I'm not doubting that a seasoned english or italian orchestral bass will sound better. I just don't think people should write off a bass with more progressive dimensions that cater towards the players body.
