The VB701GR Rudoulf Doetsch Gamba Series Professional double bass outfit is hand-crafted by master luthiers and hailed by teachers and performers alike as excellent German instruments. They feature a Gamba corner design with a highly select spruce top and maple back that has been plate-tuned for optimal performance. The hand-applied antique-style, multi-layer varnish enhances both the beauty and sound quality of the wood. The result is a VB701GR bass that is professional in both appearance and sound.
