The fully acoustic Eminence Portable Upright Bass features
a laminated, arched top of spruce, braced with a solid
spruce bassbar and soundpost, and a laminated, arched back
made of highly figured curly maple. The standard 41-3/8"
scale is strung with D’Addario Helicore strings, and
the maple neck sports an ebony fingerboard and nut. The
fully height-adjustable maple bridge with modified Realist
pickup allows personalized action
adjustments.
Included with the Eminence Removable Neck model are two
soft cases. The deluxe full-size gig bag houses the
Eminence fully assembled, while the additional neck case
stores neck, strings and waist extension when unassembled.
Both fit snuggly inside the optional hard flight case, with
ample room for a stand. Once at your destination, assemble
the Eminence at your hotel, transport to your gig with the
gig bag, and store flight case and neck case for your
return trip.
Total weight for the Eminence Bass with gig bag, neck case
and hard flight case is approximately 40 pounds. Add a
stand and it’s still under the 50 pound limit for
checked baggage. Plus, most airlines allow a golf club
flight case as part of their free baggage allowance (call
your airline to confirm). Steady-foot™
Anti-rotational Endpin Foot, waist extension and
professional set-up are all standard. Amplifier not
included.
