Description
One of the finest values for advancing student bassists.

Bellafina Model 50 Double Bass Outfit
The Bellafina 50 Upright Bass boasts durable fully laminated construction and an ebony fingerboard. Thumbwheel height adjusters on the bridge accommodate different playing styles. The Bellafina Bass's neck was redesigned with a more slender profile, permitting easier playing for smaller hands, and easier movement on faster orchestral passages.

The Model 50 upright bass offers incredibly full and robust sound, rivaling many carved-top basses. Careful wood selection make this Bellafina bass as beautiful to behold as it is to play. Bellafina includes a padded bag and Brazilwood bow (French style only) with the Model 50 Bass Outfit.

"Kind of shocked"

I initially abhorred this bass. The finish work was rather sloppy, the adjustable bridge had some initial problems and the strings provided were absolute garbage. However, I have to say that after playing this bass daily for a whole semester (during my student teaching experience); I was shocked at how much I enjoyed the instrument. I am a high-school orchestra director and would whole-heartedly endorse the purchase of this instrument (My main instrument is double bass btw.). Although it lacks certain social graces, you are getting a nice, very playable instrument with an ebony fingerboard. You probably can sell one of the old Kays at your school to a jazzer for about 3k and purchase 3 of these basses new. Just make sure to swap out the strings initially and make sure that the adjustable bridge works--it comes with the action set a little low for my taste, but the instrument is extremely playable.
