Christopher Removable Neck Upright Bass "Concert Series"
This Christopher Removable neck Upright Bass is perfect for the bassist who needs great tone and volume combined with easy transport. Nothing replaces the big beautiful sound of our beloved stringed bass. That’s why we love them but we all know that there is a price for this love affair, mainly transporting your BIG lovable friend. Example: The worry of a broken neck, the space it takes up, shipping costs etc.. Well “Christopher” has come up with a great solution for this. The removable neck eliminates any possibility of a broken neck, makes it a much more manageable size and takes up a lot less space and if you have to ship it, greatly reduces shipping costs. This Christopher Removable neck Upright Bass is the best of both worlds. The neck locking mechanism has gone through an evolution of extensive testing and is solid and dependable. It’s as strong or better than a fixed neck. We've been timing the dismantling process here in the store and it is 5 minutes or less.
