Customer Comments:

Kurt, I have played a Douglas WVEB 833 VS sunburst violin bass professionally for 4 or 5 years now. I'd like your bass customers to know this is an outstanding instrument by any measure. The neck is straight and highly playable, the wooden bridge intonates well, the neck pickup has solid thick bottom end while the bridge pickup adds an adjustable amount of color to an already good neck pickup sound. The set-neck construction is strong and the finish durable. Its V-V-T controls offer simplicity and flexibility not found in the counterpart German violin bass. The electronics have been quiet and trouble free through years of regular use with an occasional spray of contact cleaner. The instrument is light and easy on the shoulder with an ordinary 2" guitar strap. I use Thomastic-Infeld JF-344 flatwounds on it and have found nothing to complain about as the bass paid for itself a hundred times over, always ready for the next gig. I'm not easy to please, and for me this bass is a winner.
