Introducing the “Acoustic Bass VI”, a one-of-a-kind instrument conceived and designed by Steve Burke. It is a 30" Scale 6 string bass tuned, like a guitar, but an octave lower to E1, A1, D2, G2, B2, E3 and strung with heavier gauge wound strings.
This beautiful instrument is handcrafted with the highest quality materials available. It was created with a 50-year-old straight grain Canadian Sitka Spruce top, Indian Rosewood back and sides, a 3-layer, quarter-sawn Roasted Straight Maple neck, a Wenge fretboard, and Ebony bridge, and the Linden Spiral Resonator (see www.lindeninstruments.com) inside – All combined to enhance each aspect of the acoustics with focus on volume and sustain.
Appointments include “VI” MOP Fretboard Markers, Abalone Rosette and Purfling, a side sound port to enhance sound to the player, a 2-way adjustable truss rod, K&K under saddle electronic pickups Schaller tuners and a high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish.
The Acoustic Bass VI is a perfect middle ground between the guitar and bass and between electric and acoustic. Guitarists enjoy the familiarity that the Bass VI offers in a completely new range of notes, allowing them to step into a new section of the mix and apply new styles and techniques.
