Purchase Information        


Christopher Hybrid Bass 300 series 

                                                         
Click for detailed photos   

This hybrid bass is made with a solid carved European spruce top, laminated swelled back, laminated ribs, maple neck, German-plate machines, ebony finger board and tailpiece.  

Acoustically this bass is a major step-up from the fully laminated version.  The carved spruce top is the key element in it's acoustic quality.  Unlike a laminated top which consists of layers of wood glued together at opposing angles and only one consistent thickness, the solid carved spruce is graduated to various thickness for optimum acoustic quality and the grain pattern orients only in one direction which allows the vibrations to move freely through the instrument.   The result is a bass that has a bigger, fuller and more sophisticated tone.  Of all the basses we researched, we found the Christopher's to have the best sound quality and integrity of workmanship in these price ranges.

Sizes available:  3/4, 1/2

Five string models are available

List price: $2,850
Our price: $2,200

Cordura Bag: $80.00

D'Addario helicore strings: $100.00

 


                 Christopher Laminated Basses              
These Christopher entry level basses are identical in every way to the hybrid version except for a laminated top and not a carve spruce top.  The bass is a swell back and comes with ebony fingerboard and tail piece and nickel plated individual tuning machines.  

The acoustics of this bass produces an even full open tone with plenty of projection ability.  An excellent instrument for anyone who is new to the bass or as a reliable backup instrument.

Sizes available: 3/4, 1/2

Five string models are available

List price: $1,750
Our price: $1,500
