Description:

Robert Macintosh Certificate of Merit

  • This is Robbie's 13th bass. 

  • The top is made from slab cut, eastern white pine that came from floorboards in a home in Greenwich, NY, that was built in 1785. The back, sides, and scroll are made from cherry. 

  • This bass has just come back from Robbie’s shop. He slightly altered the graduations in the top and took a lot of wood out of the back. The result was dramatic. The bass is now louder and has an even fuller, rounder low end. The tonal density is still there and it projects beautifully. It also plays softly with ease.

  • The bass:

    • comes with an ebony fingered C extension with 4 gates

    • 41 1/2” string length

    • upper bouts 20 1/4”, C bouts 15”, lower bouts 26 5/8”

    • rib depth 7 7/8”, back length 44”

    • is a copy of a 1749 Domenico Busan

    • was entered into the makers competition at the 2019 ISB Convention at Indiana University and won a Certificate of Merit for Tone

    • has that typical Venetian sound quality
